I found the following on my e-mail this a.m. I have responded and outlined the nature of the complaints that have been circulating about several sellers on eBay. I also, however, pointed out that I was not the person who had contacted any buyer nor did I interfer with their bidding and I warned them that as an attorney, law professor and former law dean that I would not tolerate this false accusation. I also gave them the names of several sellers with whom I have enjoyed a fine experience. Anyone else hear from Jo?????
