Brad -- you have to realize something about the current success of eBay:(unlike Gates) -- the operational control of eBay -- was transfered over -- from Pierre -- to a professional management class -- long ago -- I'm sure that I know more about how eBay designs it's software api (with what little time i spent looking at it) than the entire team at omidyar.net -- actually, a good hunk of what I suggested (interesting idea...but...) -- is just the standard stuff -- that eBay already does -- what a joke!!! :)

Actually, even the eBay point feedback system -- is grossly misapplied here -- and what is eBay doing now: they are breaking down -- the +/- scheme into different categories :)

Fuck -- don't you guys even study where your ideas came from???

And of course, at eBay -- (the major fuck-up here) -- it was always one-transaction-one-vote!!!

So no self-absorbed asshole -- could unload their points -- on someone else.

And Thomas -- without exception -- against me -- you always sided with the point-bully (one or two people) -- 4 times now -- and each time it was the "community' -- that kept me alive.

And self-respecting adults seen this patronizing action -- they didn't waste their time posting anything -- they just left :)

from the other dirrection

hehe!! not even close! Ebay has funneled 1000 times more income into the hands of people of need than ONet has,

so I guess we can't do it! huh?

we the smart ones can't figure out how to make a social & economic impact of the level EBay has?
