A hint of things to come.....?? "Consider another strange Net occurrence last week. eBay, saying it's concerned that competitors are monitoring the data it posts to its site on the number of ongoing auctions, removed the aggregate numbers Thursday from its home page. There's another possible explanation for the removal, however. eBay's ongoing auctions reached a peak of 1.2 million earlier in the month but by late last week had declined to less than 900,000. ''Our numbers always slow down the week before Christmas because our site is people trading with other people,'' says Steve Westly, eBay's vice president for marketing and business development. ''People are spending more time with their friends and family.'' That ''always,'' of course, is based on three whole years of experience.

Gee I wonder if they are manipulating the numbers? gw
