Let's put this "S-3" matter to rest.

Terr, I believe you are a nice person, so I won't react to the "lying" and "falsification" language you used in describing what I said in my original post.

Here is the truth: the paragraph posted by Max90 appeared first (to the best of my knowledge) in eBay's SEC report of May 14,1999 -- nearly five months ago. The same paragraph appeared in eBay's August report. I will take your word that it appears yet again in the recent S-3.

The post by Max90 began with, "eBay just filed an S-3," followed by "also this little scary bits from many." Then came the now-infamous stock paragraph.

If anyone else still cares enough to be reading this, I will let them judge for themselves whether Max90's post was intended to create the impression that this was a new and timely disclosure by eBay. If you, or they, think not, than so be it.

Of course it is possible that Max90 did not know the origins of the paragraph. Only he knows that, and he won't be telling me, inasmuch as he has vowed never to speak to me again.

Have a good weekend and good luck next week (as long as that doesn't mean rate hike).
