Hey Brandon,

	Yeah, that's right -- you ARE a negative individual.  I guess
that's a fact that even you aren't going to dispute.  But why be that
way?  I mean, the 'Net can be such a great place to hang out and get
info that you need...  I'm not even saying that the gist of your
initial post was wrong, but it could have been more constructive and a
little less "jerky".   So the guy didn't know the FMV ("fair market
value") of his item -- what's the big deal?  All you have to do, which
is what I've done with people who are trying to sell for too high, is
to let them know what you know, but perhaps in a polite manner.

	And regarding your freeing up a couple of gigs of netspace and
killing spam, that's great and should certainly be recognized for its
worth.  However if you're going to rationalize doing it just so that
you can have a little "slaughterspace" on the 'Net, well, I'd have to
take it all back and say you're not the great guy you pretend to be...
Instead, you're only a hypocrite and a self-indulgent technophile.

	Sincerely,
	Davis Bennett
	Computer Consultant
