Yeah, the two are not the same. The Tom who posts multiple 'FA's is
from the Netherlands, I believe. This Tom is from California.
IIRC, Grey Ghost mentioned that the first Tom didn't take his advice to
combine all the FAs in one post. Perhaps he does not know how.
I've never posted any of my auctions because I really don't remember how
and multiples are really beyond me.
(Shameless plug time)
I post sales on E-bay under the name "mad-modeler" in case anyone cares.
My son came up with that handle which explains its spelling. ;)
No relation to the "Mad Modeler" who posts on the HH message board,
either.

Shawn's calling (Dutch) Tom an "idiot" is what pissed me off, not his
dislike of multiple FS postings.
I'll try a different approach to try and get through to people who
dislike multiple FS postings and are not able to simply move on without
opening them.
A FS post stating "1/72 Aircraft" will usually be enough for me to open
as that's my preferred field. A FS post stating "Lots of Aircraft Kits"
may not as it's too vague. A FS post stating "1/72 Yermolaev Ye-2" is
going to grab my attention big time. Tom's posts are specfic. I'll open
the ones that look new to me, pass on the others.
Bottom line: If it looks good open it, if not, don't. If you call
someone an idiot it would probably be a good idea to know the person.

i didnt call tom an idiot, i was making a generalization towards people who
cant see how dumb it is to post multi posts of fs and fa when one post would
suffice.
