All --

News for those of us who despise PayPal's "Reach Out and Touch 
Someone's Bank Account" attitude, but find eBay's Billpoint system 
relatively benign; a story on Lycos:

Relevant quote:

"eBay's current payment service, eBay Payments by Billpoint, will be 
phased out after the close of the transaction."

Great. Just when I thought I might try eBay again in _this_ millennium...

I originally sent the above at 5:10 AM on Tuesday, 7/9/02. Unlike any 
other message I have ever sent to the list, I did not see it in my 
mailbox the following day. It could have been a simple delivery 
problem, and my original mail will eventually show up on the list, 
but I could not help but wonder whether the problem stemmed from 
another source: The subject line of my original mail was "eBay eats 
PayPal". This is a fairly common grammatical construction in 
idiomatic American English to describe companies absorbing one 
another, but it can have other implications. Is it possible that the 
list software rejected my post based on some rules having to do with 
sexually explicit spam??
