Is there a problem with that?

If your suggestion is that he registered to post his own auctions, perhaps you should look at the auctions themselves, being they're from two different people, which would seem to negate that.

Also, a little less passive agressiveness, and more assertiveness in your suggestions.

Well it isn't everyday someone posts ebay links within 5 minutes of registering and then leaves. I'd much prefer people stick around and be involved.

It is okay now though. With the new ebay link forum and all. No need to follow the 2 month rule

I've found keysamples to be pretty unreliable.  I ordered keysamplers and when I finally got them the cherry mx browns felt much stiffer and clickier even without bottoming out. I actually like the feeling a lot but it was a bit of a surprise.

For the record RichardM333, can you clarify whether either of these are your own auctions?
