Ebay's demise
QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 11:53 PM) I think you still have the option to respond to feedback. That would be a recourse. As a buyer I refuse to leave feedback first. i disagree, my only responsability is to pay on time. The sellers feedback should be based on that. If it wasn't for the vast majority of the sellers holding feedback hostage for a good rating, Ebay may not have changed things. That's funny. As a seller, I refuse to give feedback first because people rarely leave me any otherwise. I consider feedback given to me as validation of my good business practices. I used to give it automatically until I realized how few feedback I was getting in return. I have like, 900 feedback given while I have only received around 650 back. Two hundred and fifty lazy people out there who never took 5 minutes to complete the feedback area on our transaction; both sellers and buyers have been guilty of this.

Business Question
Prepare a backup plan, then wait it out. Seems awfully... unpleasant to be reading someone else's private emails, even if you can as the boss.

Ebay's demise
Read the article again. They are eliminating the ability for the seller to leave feedback for the buyer. As a buyer, you can still leave negative feedback for the seller if you are upset.

Chris Berman goes apesh**
QUOTE(BobDylan @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 09:12 PM) I stopped watching the channel a few years ago. Now I've stopped going to their web page. In fact, ESPN has single handedly killed my desire to watch any sport that isn't baseball. I never said that it was a positive decision on their part. I just believe that since OJ, any cable news/sports outlet feels like it has to be filled with "talking heads" and practice tabloid journalism to get the casual viewer and keep their attention.

Food Thread
QUOTE(iamshack @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 08:41 PM) Oh, and one more thing. Anyone ever been to "The Diner" on Irving Park Road on the Northside for "the slinger"? You start with toast, followed by two all-beef hamburger patties, topped with two fried eggs, a couple of hefty helpings of chili, followed by plenty of hash browns....Wow, that is a huge late night delicacy....and if you finish it, you even get a certificate saying you finished the Slinger! Along with a bucket and directions to the bathroom.

See... the thing about ESPN (and it's creeping into cable news as well) is that they want entertainment and show over news. You can get news anywhere but you can't be informed while being entertained at the same time just anywhere. "If it bleeds, it leads."
