Did you miss out on a Championship event T-Shirt 2003? Fear not, E-Bay has one! Sz. M

Well, I did say it was an idea I was considering, not that I'd actually do it.

However, FWIW, the copies of FrontPage and Office seem to be full retail versions that are resellable, I'll check again but I didn't see a not-for-resale sign anywhere. I'm not entirely sure whether this counts as a lost sale for MS, after all, anybody buying FrontPage on eBay isn't going to be buying it at a retail store anyway. Besides, I'm sure MS has already written off the donations. I don't know how gracious professionalism enters into this - I didn't ask for this software and the team doesn't have a use for it, I've asked and nobody on the team wants or needs it - I think this is one of the areas where "gracious professionalism" breaks down because everyones definition of "gracious" and "professional" are different, but thats an entirely different conversation.

Having said that, this is a silly thing to argue over, it was a dumb idea in a thread about FIRST stuff on eBay.

Don't think that!!!

Trust me, Ive brought up a lot of stupid stuff over the years. Any one of the old-timers will be happy to list them for you

What matters is that you're not discouraged from posting. You brought in a valid point that hadn't been argued about. Nothing wrong with that. Though we may beat things with a dead horse a lot, it doesn't mean we don't appreciate the post.
