[Phono-L] Dr. Philip Peterson

Yes, it's terrible to contemplate the dark corners of the human mind. Peterson apparently had a screw loose -- a sociopath, without conscience about the people and institutions he was hurting. I'm reminded of Bernie Madoff. Peterson treated me civilly, kindly copying for me some catalogues he

I've read everyone's comments on eBay with great interest. Personally, I've never liked it, and I like it even less now, if that is possible. Any organization that makes it so easy for scoundrels to flourish is bad, in my opinion. Furthermore, eBay has turned into a monolith, like the Phone
