Ya just gotta love any company who will present you with an award for your efforts to publicly humiliate them !!!
About a month ago, I made a post to the eBay Stores forum with my solution to a problem created by an eBayStores design flaw. I went on to explain that my workaround uncovered an additional bug, and I called them boneheads (boneheads not being the first word that came to mind).
So I got quite a surprise in my mailbox today ! An envelope containing an "I heart ebay.com" bumper sticker, an eBay Community Awareness Award certificate, and a letter of congratulations which repeated my entire post, including the bonehead part.
I feel so honored, altho I would have preferred cash. I guess this shows they are able to laugh at their mistakes, but I hope they realize that I am not laughing with them, but at them.

The figure of a heart in such a design is meant to be said, "Love." In other words, it's not "I Heart eBay." Actually, it's meant to be read as "I Love eBay."
I trust you will find this even more hilarious given the situation.

PAPERFAN
Are you new? Allow me to speak for all of us when I say - DUH! <br> I'm sorry to sound crabby to those of you who thought paper had a point!
Paper, the next time you are driving in your car and reading bumper stickers write everything down then share with those of us here that also have no clue. Why else would we be here- we are all clueless. and Heart less!!!!!
If you want to have a CLUE if someone is new here, say if they joined in June, 2001 as opposed to December, 1999, you can click on that members name and, voila, you can get clued in to who's new and who's not.
