WTF is this about diet pills? Odd. I've never even *seen* an auction for diet pills. What should I reply with? I'm considering replying with:

I doubt the spammer would ever read any responses as they probably created a fake eBay accounty just for spamming many people.

PS just in case, tell them you'ere part of the Class Action Lawsuit over phen-fen over cases of men bearing babies, sudden overnight 100+ lbs weight gain, motted purple and green skin, etc.

But some spam is disguised as mail of that sort, tho. Report that person to ebay nonetheless. It is spam.

Ah, so the weight loss wasn't from sheer mass of ejaculate then?
