In other words, yer gonna get scratched...

As I posted - just yesterday - on another sub-thread within this forum,
this is not an original idea of mine or rather, it IS, but it's one that other people have reached independently and
before me. It's a suggestion that gets made periodically right here. And - as one mischieviously imaginative poster has already pointed out, all you need to sign up as a prospective Ebay buyer is an EMail address. True it gets more complicated if you want to actually BUY something, but if all you wanted to do was stir up trouble by contacting other winning buyers... then using a number of "personas" created especially to do just that (and kept quite distinct from the identity you use to
really buy and sell) wouldn't requiure you to be a rocket scientist. So... sure, maybe "you" get "scratched".But if you've got two brain cells to rub together, exactly who that "You" would
be could vary on an hour-by-hour basis. Am I "stopthescam@lycos.co.uk?" "Mp4robbery@yahoo.com?" "Krooks-R-Us@hotmail.com"? Or maybe ALL of the above?
