Steve is steve !!!!!

Steve is responsive and I'll credit him for being the only one to respond to my topic on Auctionsniper's liberal interpretation of personal privacy.

However, as a first time user, Steve appears to be playing for the wrong team, in my humble opinion.

This is because in response to my very first posting of an issue, he:

1. dismissed me as a complainer

2. advised me that my settings were incorrect when Instamail settings have nothing to do with Auctionsniper's insertion of sales copy under the email letters we sign our names to.

3. Advised that "there is no indication" that Auctionsniper inserts sales copy into the text of personal emails to transaction partners (this is because he just switched off that option)

Well, I'm not a complainer. I am trying to get Auctionsniper's management to reverse their slippery practice of using registered customers' personal emails as an opportunity to acquire new customers.

To me, that relationship is private. Auctionsniper does not disclose this practice, which raises other questions about the company's commitment to their customers - even the most loyal who actually take the time to try to right a wrong.

Auctionsniper shouldn't practice this nonsense, plain and simple. Who can disagree with this as an Auctionsniper customer?

So, perhaps Steve is helpful to most, but on this issue, he makes me ask one question:

Is his time as community facilitator compensated by Auctionsniper?

If he is a genuinely helpful community participant independent of Auctionsniper (which I should hope he is), he could be a bit more helpful by opening a case with Auctionsniper to demand an end to this slippery practice.

If anyone else would as well, it could only help.

Would someone PLEASE put shamangroup out of his misery.

p.s.

Steve,

Don't feel like you have to explain yourself to shamangroup. Most everyone on AS knows you're very helpful. They also know you do this simply because you're a nice guy, and that you aren't compensated by AS. Someone like shamangroup probably can't understand that. There are always a few crack-pots in every group.

Now I'm the crackpot?

Rick, how do you feel about Auctionsniper selling under your name and not disclosing it?

Let's stick to the issue.

I wish I never posted on a folder dedicated to a personality cult.
