But some guy commenting on this story said you should "give the guy a break" - to which I kinda glared in amazement at my screen for a few seconds - a break?! WHAT?! I would NEVER have had that much patience for the guy - you should send this example to eBay and have them honour you with no listing fees ever on your account for being such a credit to them! Anyway just found you on MacRumors (via a thread on a query I had on connecting iMac to Z-5500's) and decided to check out your site which has since been tabbed in my Firefox, keep it up!

Yeah, Mr. B is a ninny, for sure, but we've had our share of idiots up here too, so I won't hold you guys responsible! After all, you guys chose the other guy anyways. He just didn't have the right connections. By the way, Matthew, I love your articles! I work for a trade magazine in Toronto, so I always appreciate a good writer! Keep it up! Drop me a line anytime. - Russ I love America as well, and spend 99% of my vacation time in your beautiful country.

I love your beautiful country and friendly citizens, and want to state for the record that I do not hold all of Canada responsible for this particular moron. In turn, I beg you not to hold all of America responsible for our particular moron -- the one in the big white house in Washington. ;) Russ,

I'm from Ontario, too. Generally we expect this sort of idiotic behavior from the Quebecois. I'm going to have to call up the Prime Minister and get this "Stefan" out of our province and back to Quebec where he belongs. I have to apologize - sometimes they escape. Sorry if he disturbed you. - Russ Hmm… I’m from Ontario, too. Generally we expect this sort of idiotic behavior from the Quebecois.

At this point I'm looking for a way to kill myself with what's in my pockets -- wallet, keys, BlackBerry, a candy wrapper. Nope, nothing quick enough. You know, those candy wrappers can be very dangerous in the right hands you know. I still don't have an ebay account, after all these years... Rhetorical email response #6.

He's a "newby", maybe a little lonely. His questions were typical of a new buyer on eBay. Not everyone communicates with the same speed and efficiency as you. You shoudl be a little more understanding and not so quick to judge. Hey, give the guy a break!! He’s a “newby”, maybe a little lonely. His questions were typical of a new buyer on eBay.
