Uhh... I wouldn't go out and suggest it to them, because then we would be
helping them sell stuff. What it they said "FREE SUPPORT FOR THIS NEWTON
included with auction via www.newtontalk.net!!" That wouldn't be cool,
because NTLK shouldn't be helping them turn a profit.
I'm not saying that all eBay sellers would use such a sleazeball message,
what I am saying is that there's the possibility to use it for Evil(TM)
and I don't have time to police eBay. Nobody should have to.
