Sam,
Why are you so obsessed with this guy? I agree with the listers who stated
(paraphrasing) "so what? as long as he clearly states they are photocopies."
and- " It's up to the publishers of the manuals to object and contact him."
Maybe the publishers DON'T object. Maybe they'd rather not be contacted and
asked for manuals by the public. Maybe he'll allow the camera companies to
put their people in other places rather than photocopying manuals and sending
them out. Maybe they don't know about it. Either way, why should we go off
topic again? If you don't like what he is doing, don't bid on his auctions.
There are millions of eBay users, what are you going to do, police them all
and contact the list when you see something or someone you don't like? I
thought we all agreed to keep the eBay chatter to a minimum on this list and
just limit it to alerting fellow listees when something rare or unusual came
up.
