OK I just sent off a message to a person who had problems with ebay.  But
before we dabble in that has a ferret been in space yet??  I know many
rats , mice and rabbits have been out of this world already.
 
As for the person challanging my ferrets numbers i have but one thing to
say, my information came from thousands of ferret owners I have met in
over 15 yrs.  But if you really want numbers and studies you can do the
legwork, i have real world numbers as before mentioned .  Also you will
have to wade thru the data that was done by serum makers who "pad" their
numbers in studies so as they can say "look , everyone is vaccinating!!"
 
So the following is my ebay question response:
 
Greetings,
Ebay is cleaning house, they have become a victim of their own success.
People are abussing the system and not coming thru with what is
promissed.  So since a big write-up in newsweek (i think) about their
lack of control they are purging any subscriber that is not active ,
had any negetive comments or have not visited the site in a while.
 
So you can email them and ask them to send any proof of wrong doing.
Also , someone else might have hijacked your account and used it to
commit fraud.  A simple keystroke program might have sent the enemy
the id and password of your account.  Make this clear to your ebay
representitive.  Good luck and by all means up-date your anti-virus and
firewall keystroke programs will also give them your on-line banking info
and personal information including any work you brought home from the
office , that alone can cause a huge lawsuit if critical data from your
employer is released.

[Moderator's note: That recently posted eBay warning was a"heads-up" for
the many FMLers who use eBay.  The note wasn't *really* from eBay -- it
was just someone posing as eBay to try to steal accounts.  BIG]
