Wasn't it Dorothy who did the heel-clicking?

Personally, I'm not at all interested in all the eBay-related posts that are about sellers of VINTAGE cards, but I can't even begin to express I how uninterested I am about an ebay seller of Frank Thomas cards.

Yes, I can choose to ignore all of the "Look at this silly ebay auction" and "Look at the shipping fees on that guy" posts, but sometimes I miss legitimate discussions about vintage cards because I think the posts in one of those threads are all relating to some ebay scam that I've read 500 posts about earlier.

I wish we had two standing threads that existed:

1. Buy, Sell, Trade

2. eBay: scams, mislistings, curiosities, spelling mistakes, outrageous shipping fees, bad scans, etc.

That way people could still feel like they're helping newcomers out who might get taken, and everybody else can skip the eBay threads knowing there probably isn't anything they'd be interested in reading.

And deleting posts or threads that point to now-defunct eBay auctions isn't rigid police work, it's forum janitorial work and is appreciated by most of us.

We should thank Bill for doing it, but if nothing else, we're at least showing Elliot we're equal-opportunity complainers and he must realize it was never anything personal we he was attacked. Hopefully Bill realizes the same.

Thanks,
