Damn Dave, sure do seem to have struck a nerve with you here. What would
make you get so cranky about people bitching about keyword or description
spamming? It's clearly spelled out in the policies and procedures of eBay as
a no-no. These two guys were guilty. The first had only 223 transactions,
the second only 248. Definitely newbies, probably with more buys than sales.
So maybe I (we) should cut them some slack?

    `Calling someone on a little mis-truth about the "famous" universal MV
sparkplug is a bad thing? (They're back on the 'bay again today).

    Got me thinking, maybe thou doth protesteth too much....

    As you said " but if it makes you

    So I went back in the archives, wondering if there was anything in it
that would give a hint on what button of yours I pushed? Turns out you sold
some items a while back on the 'Bay and gave us a heads up here. One thing
lead to another and....

Found on the 'bay today.....

M151 Military Jeep Matched Belt Set

Item 2401849022

seller: oggy10 (622)

Description
This is a M151 matched belt set it is in excellent shape and made by
Goodyear. M151 M35 M37 M38 Military truck Jeep

    So, instead of notifying eBay, I'll throw it out here to the list (where
maybe oggy10 might see the results).

    Does anyone on the list see the relevance of the description for a set
of matched belts for an M151 needing M35 M37 M38 in it except as a spam
tactic? If it can be used on an M35, fine. If not, in my opinion, it doesn't
belong there. It's spam.

    If oggy10 is out there, care to give the reasoning behind your
description? Can't be an accident like the newbies, since he has 622
transactions under his belt....
