You maybe but certainly not "we". I will rather de-register from this forum than call eBay (or anything else) anything but it's real name.

Go ahead, then, and call TOS by its real name on this forum, if you're so principled. :-)

Calling eBay TAS is tongue-in-cheek, not doublespeak. Nothing to get worked up about. OK, so I shouldn't have said "we" but "many people here". I never call eBay TAS myself, but again, I've also never thought of that alias as being anything other than humorous, not something emotionally charged.

UPDATE: For those who don't know what the TOS (not TAS) thing is about, see this thread.
ANOTHER UPDATE: I think this is the post on the old forum that Dave Hicks was referring to in that thread: http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/...524#193524.
