[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 86122, member: 55"]No apology needed. I have a very thick skin. I do use a posting ID, and kept it here, but it is not hard to figure out my buying/selling ID. I chose the all-fakes name years ago, when I was seriously thinking of doing some malicious bidding, back when ebay posted buyers' names in full; thinking how some seller would feel to have his item bought by someone with an ID like mine.....but I took the advice of wiser heads: that the high road is always the best road, and I have never ever engaged in any kind of auction interference. I have, like Komo, sometimes tried to provide information to sellers (always under my real ID) in hopes they were confused, or honestly mistaken; often an honest seller is happy to learn they have been mistaken about the nature of their item. Amusing, the mention of "anonymous email expert" when what we have seen is a seller pretending to be a buyer in order to endorse their own item. Too bad she wasn't here long enough to talk honestly, maybe we could have convinced her, and then found out where these B.T. fakes are coming from. Indonesia, yes....but who the heck is adding the cedar-bark, then distributing them to multiple sellers, in these quantities? It is a mystery. Komo, I'm very sorry you have acquired a stalker.....it is at least partly my fault for discussing in public what I know can be embarrassing to some sellers......but I don't have a lot of respect for the sellers of multiple fakes. By definition, they are dealers in fake items, and that is not an honorable thing. And PS to Irene, you are a true Lady, in the best sense of the word, and I am honored to have you as part of our community.[/QUOTE]
