Dear List,

    Within four hours of the loss of Columbia, there were
auctions on eBay for pieces of recovered debris from the downed
shuttle, a gruesome and criminal prospect:


<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3205211710&category=413>


<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3205221062&category=13904>

    However, for those critical of eBay management, let it be
said that these auctions were cancelled by eBay itself within
minutes. They do know what's going on. These sellers can now go
back to prying the gold fillings out of the mouths of the newly
deceased or whatever it is they do in their regular line of work.
