declan,

on your politech list, you point out that the usa today article we cited
does not mention ebay.

we regret the inaccuracy in our report, which resulted from an error in
editing.

what we intended to say, and will say when we issue an amended report, is
that the usa today article motivated us to test our newly developed
steganographic detection tools, but it was your subsequent wired news
article that led us to ebay.

please let me know if you need any clarification

thanks.

    peter
