That would be in the case of the information being delivered directly to the advertisers. The question here is "Can advertisers, or those placing images/other content on eBay.com, get access to your personal information". I'm assuming that advertisers, or other persons able to place content on eBay.com, do not have access to ebay's servers, and the code they're running in the backend -- if they did, then eBay would already be giving them the keys. Given that, I'm not sure what your statement was relating to. It seems completely irrelevant to the discussion, which probably means I'm misunderstanding part of the discussion. -- Christopher Schmidt Web Developer _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
