~~~ without the help of someone informing them.

I was one of the first eBay sellers of Ivory (Chips/Billiard balls/Dominos) starting in 1997, and I would get a few hate e-mails regarding my listings, but never anything from eBay, directly; and one day I received an e-mail from a woman saying: "Do you realize that poachers cut off the elephant's trunk in order to get to their ivory?" And she went on to say, "Being a man, I'm quite sure you can relate as to how it might feel."
