Well, I'm not PO'ed about it, but I'd say I didn't "accuse" you of
"saying" anything. I misunderstood PART of what you actually said

were intended to flush out what you really think.
I'll wait to read your other replies before saying more. No real
desire to inflame things here, but you seem to have a fairly limited
view of just who is and is not part of this community or at least an
over-estimation of that magic 2% eBay gets and it's detrimental effect
on said community.
