(b) you can't just add string replacement macros like that! this looked like 100% fluff written the way it was written because that was the only way to hack-it-in without facing the music lurking in the items render proc. (c) left my customer service issue unanswered till i overwrote email and called people. i suggested ways of fixing render almost four weeks ago, have since worked out a method for myself to cleanly add new parameterizable customizable string-replacement macros.. i email and post about it.. there's noone home it seems and if everyone else cheers these bad practices there are going to get more like it. that's bad!  (trust me! lol, i dig the render codde.) # 14:30  LinkLog  eBay Advisor service lets sellers offer expertise.    Asc Mo eBay service lets sellers offer expertise.

ABC.net: Karma works [via WebWord] Game theory experiments in how to minimize the tragedy of the commons by making the history of your actions more transparent, thereby allowing you to establish and maintain a public reputation. eBay works on this principle (with their buyer/seller feedback system), and, to a lesser extent, Amazon (with their metareviews of reader reviews).
