You posted a message earlier that was deleted (partially at my request) due to something that was, in the English language, offensive.
I have since looked up your feedback and user ID/info at eBay and believe that there is a possibility you have no understanding of the problem that exists.
The user name you have chosen is, in the English language a very offensive term. The immediate reaction of an American when they see your eBay ID is to assume that you chose an obscenity deliberately.
If you would like to post to AW and pursue this topic, you might want to change your AW User ID to something safe in the English language (moderator -- I hope I've got this right!) and then post to this topic.

This was mine also -- but I decided to take a look over at eBay. User has been reg'd since 4/99, has 5 +FB, no Shades. If s/he's legit, I'd feel awfully bad.
I have a new aquaintance, met at our shop, who's an exchange student from Germany, but I'm not sure this is a question I want to ask!

I can understand that.
I tried several of the German - English translators and dictionaries online... no matches anywhere, but I did find out to translate the name from English to German.
BTW, since the user was commenting on PayPal in one post I assumed he was from the US.

Ooooh, what a smart idea! I never thought to check on AW search! As to the translation, I'm just as glad I don't know!

ah--heck!! I'm dying of curiousity. What was the ID---click my name and email me....I've got someone I can ask to translate ---if it is translatable
