A note on an interesting program. Ebay is running an Auction for America. It is an interesting concept- you sell or buy items within the auction for America listings and all proceeds go to charity. If you have stuff around the house you want to get rid of- auction it for America- the buyer pays shipping fees. If there has been something special you've wanted- a collectible, a book, that old 45 you always wanted, why not see if it is in an Auction for America? I've been on Ebay for a long time, and I thought this program was fantastic. I am going to be putting some items up for sale in this program, and I thought I would share it with you. I've transacted well over 1500 transactions on ebay, 99% have been great, and if you've never been to Ebay, why not go now and take a look. I think this has the potential to raise a lot of cash. Their goal is 100 million in 100 days.

X says, "What is said in PM is private, and obviously meant to remain so. I don't wish to hear about anything sent in PM mode. PM's are usually personal (at least judging from my own experience)." And Mike replies: Are you talking to me? Message 16352900 Message 16353430 FWIW, although I have long known Rambi to be an AA wife, I would have never sought her out to vent my anger and frustration with the airlines. She, however, put the airline subject on the table and part of her message struck a nerve with me. Message 16346742 I then sent a PM which certainly had harsh words for the airline industry but did not attack her personally. My use of the word "you" was intended corporately, not personally and I regret this but not the underlying sentiments. I have called you names, X (and made an unkind ref. to you in my PM) but I did not call Rambi names. In fact, I made an effort to inform Rambi that while I held the airlines in low regard, I held her in high regard. Rambi, if you are reading this, you have my permission to post both of my PMs in the open on this thread. No doubt some will find my remarks inappropriate but, I believe, they will be slightly different than has been suggested. That's it for now, X. I will respond to Rambi's post when I return from dinner.
