Observer article 9/March/1997
Fame at last! In an alleged book review in the Observer (Books p16), Jay Rayner writes about a "man called Bob"
(one of my many pseudonyms) in whom "a lot of people have shown an interest". Read and ponder!
Perhaps the Chinese curse "may you live in interesting times" could be re-worded into "may you be considered an
interesting person". Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me!

.net magazine article March/1998
Britain's .net Magazine featured my website on page 17 of their March 1998 issue (number 42). They quote from the "FAQ"
pages, and also include some details of the evidence I have tried to present on my website.
The age of some of the material on the website shows in this review, which says the case "has been discussed in uk.*
newsgroups during the past year". At this time (March 1998) it has been discussed on uk.misc for three years, and there
are still occasional traces of the discussion going on.

I can see that as a good argument for not using your EBay handle on Usenet -
I don't, and have never revealed it.
Then there are the less polite groups to consider. Anyone

Heh. You've never been on rastv or ukrm, then. I've frequented both, and
they are definitely NOT polite. To say the least.

Why?
Cars are harder to sell on eBay because, unless you are a fool, you're not
going to bid before you've taken a look - which takes time and effort for
both parties - and cars are, I assume, much more expensive than the average
price of things sold on eBay, so I offered BIN and listed at the same price
at Autotrader too - if someone comes along, likes it enough and thinks its
worth the asking price, I'm going to sell it straight away - I'm not going
to wait x more days "just in case" the eBay auction reaches that price!!

He paid by paypal not sure how can mark as unpaid, and then how would he get
the money back.
I am thinking of asking the buyer to start a dispute goods not as described.

Interesting though this thread is, may I ask the relevance to
uk.telecom.voip..?
