But many may consider "box shifters" OK. Exactly - even more confusion. 'Why are these types accepted, and others not?' 'Why are private auctions allowed and not eBay?'

(...) Well (although I feel like I'll get stoned by everyone), I'll stand up as a buyer. I would love to see auction announcements in each theme.
