Anybody else have a visceral reaction to "Wow!" being included in item name on ebay?

I routinely search on "wow" to find the best deals! NOT.
I've been an Ebayer for a number of years and it's always amazes me that people use WOW so often. When I'm selling an item, I'd much rather stick in an alternative spelling to actually try to help someone search.
But having TWO "wow"s makes it that much better ;-) Adding in a few "*" and "!" help also...
What about the low starting price (.01), but then you don't have a clue as to what the reserve is.
Or the starting bid is that same as buy-it-now.
Or you ask the seller a question and they never respond.
One that I'm border line on is the "Not (brand 1)". So for example, if I'm searching for Alesis, I'll get a Korg auction that includes "Not Alesis" in the title. If I'm searching for an Alesis, why do I want to be wasting time looking at Korg?
Oh man, you got me started....
What gives with those -2 feedback people anyway?
Why can't people send you their street address instead of a PO box?
Why do non-north americans bid when you state you wont ship it to their part of the world?
Oh! We forgot about "LOOK!"

What I really get sick of is this:
I want another Ibanez, so I type in "Ibanez". And I end up with a bunch of stupid listings like--"Jackson Guitar!! Not Gibson, Ibanez, Jackson, Blow Me..." etc.
Drives me nuts. Maybe I should just type in "not Gibson".
