ok without stooping to name-calling, Bell is a "different thinker". and of course the system would be illegal. but these things are not showstoppers. the carbomb objection isn't significant. the TOD issue could be worked around. philosophically, putting only folks who violate the NAP on the list is very sound. and the bidders' anonymity is a luxury we can afford in this society, whose values are being defended even as we speak, with 1500 shells dropping all over iraq today. so. NAP.
anyway, i still don't see why AP wouldn't work. Bell may be onto something....

what's REALLY pathetic is that you have no concept of, uh, what's that word again? uh, oh yeah, MATH!
if the spammer gets a one percent response rate (not unreasonable) on a product that nets him just ten dollars... let's see...
1,000,000 spams * $.005= $5,000 cost
1% response of 1,000,000= 10,000 bites
10,000 bites * ten dollars each= you do the MATH
