I don't believe that it is a requirement that Ebay be listed in the subject
header. Using a filter was suggested as a means to filter out unwanted Ebay
auction announcements. I am just pointing out that the filter is becoming
less useful because people are not putting Ebay in their subject header when
they are announcing an Ebay auction. It was assumed that people would use
Ebay in the subject header. Why would you not use Ebay in the header if you
are selling on Ebay? I am curious why someone feels that they want to
"hide"(?) this fact.
My comment about "spamming" was said in jest. I feel that I get "spammed",
by people not putting Ebay in their subject header, because I have put a
filter on auction announcements.
I buy and sell (sometimes) on Ebay, however the Ebay auction announcements
have become so numerous that I found I was missing auction announcements by
"privates". I personally find all the Ebay auction announcements annoying. I
will find the auction when I search in Ebay and I believe that most people
on LUGNET DO search for sets on Ebay. I can only find out about "privates"
by looking here on LUGNET.
I just want to know if there were any decisions made about this subject or
else Tom can tell me to hang it up.
