Ah, yes, I forgot that, right. I think that proves to some degree the
association being made. I've only browsed Brickbay occassionally and never
bought anything from a vendor on there (I prefer my addictions from local
retail :) yet I made the jump by the name that they auctioned bricks, not
just sold them.

The fact that there are far worse offenders doesn't mean BrickBay isn't ripe
for being targetted. "Yes, sir, I may have stolen a car, but there are
criminals who have stolen much more expensive things!"
Alas, it's a shame this has happened, but...
