The Positivity of Absolute Value

I wonder.
I can't speak for any of you, but I am a seller on Half.com, which is this branch of ebay that acts as their used online store. You don't have to bid for anything, you just browse, click and buy. I have never had a significant issue with any of ebays policies as far as Half is concerned, but it seems that recently they may be on the front of an odious display of conglomerate power.
Recently ebay added a discussion board to their site at half for sellers and buyers alike to chat and respond to any issuances on policy or news the company presents. I visited this discussion baord for the first time the other day and read a few of the items that ebay posted for "discussion," and was overwhelmed by the negative response from users to them.
For instance, the first post that you can see at the top reads, "Elimination of Order Confirmation on Half.com." This post returned 987 responses which we can only assume are predominantly negative, because if countning the proponents, we take only the first thirty and do the math, we end up with 0 out of thirty. That's right count them 0. Though some of the responses are idle and apathetic, there are a few with some spunk. Such as this one by rebelrazor, "Ebay does not care what we want. They would like to eliminate Half.com. This is just a start of future eliminations of services."
What's really interesting is the fact that ebay seems to be handing out false statistics, "We are doing this after hearing from the majority of our sellers that it is a cumbersome and unneeded process." A "majority...," interesting word choice. Even if there were one advocate for the elimination of the confirmation process, this would greatly strengthen ebay's argument. But I have yet to find one of those advocates.
There is also the second post you see from ebay that states, "Change to Pre-orders Feature on Half.com." This post returns 274 responses and if we do the same statistical check, we get the exact same result, 0 out of 30.
The underlying theme to the responses is that the elite of this company, the decision making buisnessmen that put it all together are slowly but surely phasing out this branch of ebay alltogether. This may or not be true, but the thing to do may not be to just give up on half.com and never look back. Maybe the thing to do is have your voice heard in another forum. Say this one for instance. Perhaps if enough bloggers blogged, and enough of the right listeners heard, something may actually be done about this. Perhaps it does not need to happen this way.
I wonder.
