Hi, Hrast:

"[...] But to discuss (report, look at, ...) every move of coburlin and similar ebay creatures?!? Who cares? And to discuss the same thing (look I spotted
HP-1772C for 584784 USD, look I spotted coburlin bought HP-4773GTI for 6885 USD and now sells it for 58474884 USD, look ...) over and over again?"
I absolutely agree, this is boring to death and seems a lot of people suffer from a strong, deep, almost anal fixation over this person and his/her doings to the point of addiction and compulsive posting of his/her every move, so that we can all share (suffer more like ...) their wet dreams. Absolutely unacceptable.
"This is really boring and have kept me from this forum for weeks/months/... I hoped that there will be something different here
during the hollydays ... but the same boring ebay threads again ... "
Again, I concur. I've been visiting the forum sparingly to see if ebay threads had finally exited for good but no such luck, the same people keep pestering the rest of us with their ebay rants, their ebay fears, and their alleged ebay wisdom, to the point of nausea.
Perhaps Mr. Hicks could do something about this, as he did in the past when he segregated the Adds section creating a (mostly) eBay-free zone for those visitors already sick to death over the ever increasing number of eBay auctions constantly polluting the site.
Anyway, if this goes on like this, and the amazing "Museum of HP Calculators Forum" becomes the "Unofficial HP eBay Forum", as it seems bound to be, count me off. I'd rather stick to Datafile, where the focus remains on interesting HP calc topics, such as programming, algorithms, challenges, hardware projects, and news, and no one gives a damn whether such and such ebay seller lives or dies. Or I might create my own forum, which isn't particularly difficult to do these days. We would be far less people, but certainly more focused, learning about much more interesting things, and, in short, getting much better returns for our precious time involvement.
Best regards from V.
