With a nod towards Professor Peter Schickele (PDQ Bach).
Here's the set-up:
A bidder who stiffed me back in January is trying to get her account reinstated. But she is having a great deal of trouble getting the sellers involved to give a sh*t about her plight. For some reason she copied me on this email to SafeHarbor. It's actually in reference to another seller. The emphases are mine. Enjoy.

What is ebay doing on my behalf to to get possession of my paid auctions with <other eBay seller>. I did pay late beyond the 7 days. I mistakenly paid with a personal check missing the fact that they wanted a money order. As you can see I have asked repeatedly for the check returned so I can purchase a money order. I certainly am not going to send a money order and they have both. It's apparent they are not reliable, responsible sellers.
I'm not going to put myself through all the crap that you are telling me to do. Can't you see that I have repeatedly tried to pay these people? They will not respond. How in the devil do you expect me to get a response to ask for forgiveness? I've stated in my requests that I am trying to make restitution and set the record straight.
I've proven the fact that I am being responsible on my part. I have legitimate reasons why I wasn't able to take care of business. Yes, I can prove it's legitimate, but it's not any of anyone's business. I've tried my best to make things right. Even Ebay should see that. I'm done trying. Tomorrow I will write to the better business bureau of each state involved, it may not matter, but then again it might!
Thank you so much for all of your help?

that email sounds to me like she/he still has a major attitude problem...."i didn't do it" "it's not my fault I promise"

This creep was NARU'd for nonpayment and she demands to know what eBay is doing on her behalf.
Of course, she pays eBay nada.
eBay doesn't do jack on our behalf either, and some of us pay thousands a month in fees.

It's a reference to the Chorus from P.D.Q. Bach's famous oratorio, _The Seasonings_ (Schickele number 1 1/2 tsp). It's one of P.D.Q.'s early works, unearthed decades ago by Prof. Schickele, a fellow at the University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople.
The conspiracy of silence that has surrounded P.D.Q. Bach (1807-1742)? for two centuries began with his own parents. He was the last and the least of the great Johann Sebastian Bach's twenty-odd children, and he was certainly the oddest. His father ignored him completely, setting an example for the rest of the family (and indeed for posterity), with the result that P.D.Q. was virtually unknown during his own lifetime; in fact, the more he wrote, the more unknown he became. He finally attained total obscurity at the time of his death, and his musical output would probably have followed him into oblivion had it not been for the zealous efforts of Prof. Schickele. These efforts have even extended themselves to mastering some of the rather unusual instruments for which P.D.Q. liked to compose, such as the left-handed sewer flute, the windbreaker, and the bicycle.

I love Peter Schickele! Used to listen to him all the time on Public Radio. I don't think Schickele's Mix is on any more. Too Bad. -----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o

It is not on in the time period it was on my station. Maybe I will call them and see if it is in a new time period or if they can carry it again. After all what do I pay them the "big bucks" for.
