Thanks for the shout-out! Yes, Annalee has it exactly right. We don't want eBay to kick our project off its servers because we're making "false claims" about the objects for sale. Naturally we'd rather not have the disclaimer there, because -- for those who get that they're being hoaxed, and enjoy being hoaxed -- the disclaimer kills the charm. Reply
