I like Auslander's solution, gerry!
You should be at least able to confiscate the illegal cards so they have to go back and pay for new illegal ones. Edit: That's my bitch so I'm on topic.

An anonymous reader writes "This morning a hacker posted the personal contact information and credit card data of 1,200 ebay users on the eBay.com Trust & Saftey forums. eBay pulled the Trust & Safety forums off line, but not before one user made a video of the hacked forums and posted it on youtube.com. eBay response is on the eBay chatter page, and seems to try and down play this "fraudster"'s activity."

I guess I have a bitch associated with the baseball situation. With a lot of the players just playing for the money and no respect for the sport, I no longer care much for baseball. My loss of enthusiasm started some time ago when the players started ruining seasons out of greed. How much money do they need to continue playing? Most players make incomes most of us dream of. Most professional sports suffer from steroid use and selfish players. With all the steroids in use, who knows if it's the drugs making the score or the player. Tell me Bonds hasn't used steroids. Just recently the Tour de France winner was invalidated for steroids. The drugs have ruined sports. They make for a good game to watch, but where is the line for steroid and nonsteroid records. Branding Bond's record ball is a bit extreme, but it makes a point. Was it a record for a player or for drugs? As Bonds pointed out, the record stands. Along with the record the drug scandal will be part of baseball history. Many baseball purists still think the old record is the one that has meaning.

Bond's ball needs to be incinerated. And everyone that he hits thereafter, until the steroids render him unplayable.
Hank Aaron is still the Home Run King and not a disgrace to the game.

I don't like baseball. Heck, I don't like any professional sport for that matter. The majority are just in it for the money and not the love of the game these days.
College B-Ball, in my opinion, is where its at. Lots of guys who are good enough to get into the NBA so they are really good but they don't have any crazy salary or any of the other B.S. that seems to taint people.
Sure, even College level sports don't have the cleanest record but I enjoy watching College stuff a whole lot more then the "Pros" level.
Peace

No...I understand the steroid issue is a disgrace...However Ty Cobb was a notorious Speed Freak...should all his records be whipped out...
The Grand Old Era wasn't Clean by any means...Its only nostalgia that makes it appear that way...The Drugs were different but they were still used...and Performance Enhancing...
I remember when they didn't want to recognize Hanks record...they wanted to put an * next to it...what if some Idiot had bought Arron's Ball for a publicity stunt and desecrated it...
The Record is...Like it or Not...The Ball is...Like it or Not...To display it at Coopertown...with an *...Is an Insult to Every Baseball Player and Fan...Just watch there will be a Backlash against this...If it happens...

Speed is hardly a performance enhancing drug like steroids. Women have taken it for the longest as a diet drug and the illegal use is to keep a person hyper. Truckers use it to stay awake. So, if Cobb was addicted, that doesn't place a stigma over the game like steroid usage has.
There's already "backlash" from both points of view on the Bonds' record. Even if one of the old time greats was a speed freak, the whole game wasn't tainted the way it is now. Nobody is likely to change their mind because of a post on this forum. There will continue to be those who accept the new record, and the purists who look on it as a steroid enhanced record. Didn't the "Babe" drink a lot of brew. He probably had the "brew record". LOL I doubt the disagreement on the new Bond's record will go away til someone breaks it and can prove no steroids were used.

A father asked his 10-year old son if he knew about the birds and the bees.
"I don't want to know," the child said, bursting into tears.. "Promise me you won't tell me."
Confused, the father asked what was wrong.
The boy sobbed, "When I was six, I got the 'There's no Easter Bunny' speech.
At seven, I got the 'There's no Tooth Fairy' speech.
When I was eight, you hit me with the 'There's no Santa' speech.
If you're going to tell me that grown-ups don't really get laid, I'll have nothing left to live for."

I happen to disagree with that..:)
The Issue isn't Steroids...it is...The Desecration of a Historical Object...
First off I Hate Baseball...Not a Fan of any Sport that routinely has a score of 1 to 0...way to boring for me...
This is about respect for all people...Not just those who are truly devoted Fans and the Players...I guarantee the Player would not agree with doing this to the Ball...
Once it is Branded...The Ball becomes a Statement...For Cooperstown to say that "this is a Great Thing" because it means they "get the Ball" is a Disgrace to All those Players that are In-shrined in the Hall of Fame...
This goes beyond Baseball...This in the longer view of History...Is a travesty that Will be seen as a Disgrace to Baseball...the Players...the Fans of the Sport...and the Nation as a Whole...
This is someone who is taking away a Historical Object...Destroying the Object...and the Meaning behind it...For a Publicity Stunt...Nothing More...and that is Wrong in my Opinion...

Tell me that now? So when I when I take a few of my wifes diet pills and wash them down with a beer or 2 before I go onstage to play drums, its the placebo effect that makes everything slow down and myself speed up?

First of all, I also hate baseball, just too boring.
Has Bonds been convicted of using steriods, or at least, been found using steriods. Has the "right" to be innocent until proven guilty been abolished, or is that another "right" been taken away, also?
BTW, I could care less about his record, but I do care about our rights.

@Gerry1,
my favorite "borrowed" social security number incident involved one of our employees who got tagged for child support. 50% of his check went to the state, when he complained they showed him the garnishment order, and explained to him that if he wasn't who he said he was, they were going to call INS. He shut up and worked for a year before quitting, sad but true.

The effect is to make you hyper and willing to expend more energy. You'll have a tendency to run full speed till you drop. It doesn't make you stronger like steroids do. It's the body mass and power of the swing that sends the ball out of the park, not being hyper and willing to run full speed longer. Ruth and Aaron are the players with the big bats, not Cobb. So, speed didn't make a homerun record holder out of Cobb. There's no taint to Ruth's and Aaron's records. Most of the "big bats" of the current era are all questionable and it isn't speed.
Neverhap
It's not a court of law. Bonds has been implicated and that physique of his looks like the poster child for steroid use. Look at Bonds' early career photos and those now. Using your logic, OJ was innocent (he's back in the news). The preponderance of evidence convicted him in civil court.
Lp531
Aaron's record and problems were racially motivated, not a question of drugs. The early black players are now being given more credit and their place in history. Not as much as they should, records were lost and sadly the leagues were segregated. Aaron helped break barriers and was the unquestioned record holder with an untainted record. You can't say it's racism with Bond's because the record was held by another black player. There's nothing to do with Bonds' tainted record other than steroid use. I can't say for sure Bond's is guilty of steroid use, but everything points to it. It will always be a tainted record.
As for the ball, it will always have a tainted history, whether it's branded or not, in Cooperstown or not. There are those who think having the ball in Cooperstown is an insult to the game and those who agree with you. As I mentioned, neither faction will ever agree. I sorta liked the idea of shooting the ball into space with a rocket. LOL That would be paying universal homage to the ultimate roid swing (pun intended). ;)
I suppose a hundred years down the road steroid use may be acceptable, or the current situation forgotten. In that case no one would care about the scandal surrounding Bonds' record. A kid could walk into Cooperstown and say "Wow, what a champ" and not realize the scandal. Frankly, I think the whole thing should be remembered. If they're going to have records, keep the game clean enough that they mean something. This record only raised more disagreement in a game that can ill afford more scandal. I think the record ball is holding a shotgun seat to the scandal. I don't care if the ball is in Cooperstown or not, or whether it's branded or not. I'm just saying the situation smells either way.

This is not about steroids...
This is not about Tainted or Untainted Records...
This is not about Drugs...
This is about respect for People and the Game...and the complacent and approved desecration of the Ball by the Baseball Hall of Fame...
Ecko has the Right to buy the Ball...He has the Right to Brand it...However...The Hall of Fame...should have respected the Players that are Inducted into the Hall of Fame...and Refused the Ball if it Branded with the *...The Baseball Players are already coming out and expressing "there Disgust with the Hall of Fame"...and they are Right in Doing So...
You are missing the point that I was trying to make...So I will repeat myself...
