“A certain registered eBay user has been… getting any eBay
auction of Microsoft products cancelled. The identity of this
mysterious philanthropist? Why, msoft@buddy.ebay.com, of
course.”

“By cancelling them Microsoft is either saying that you can’t
sell its products after you’ve bought them, or that every single
one of those eBay users is a crook. Or both.”

“When you post to the eBay feedback forum you can mark your post
Positive, Negative, or Neutral. Every MS criticism was marked
Negative. Every MS criticism has been moderated to Neutral by
eBay.”
