Not that *I* have ever done that, but how is e-Bay going to prevent
that??? If I wanted to, I could look-up the buyer's e-mail address and
then send them an e-mail using my client. Or, do you mean that
everyone will have a username@xxxxxxxxx address? If so, it doesn't
matter... I'd just use that address to send a "contact me at
coneill@nucleus please" message.

P.S. I predict that what e-Bay will eventually do is up their listing fee
and drop the final value fee. That'd get them more money without having
to worry 'bout who's "cheating" on the "reserve not met" auctions.
