Clearly Ebay and other internet sites won't completely replace in

ease of bringing large numbers of buyers and sellers together via some

operations. The ease of transacting a sale electronically be it for a
Kenwood 940 or a spinning wheel can't be ignored. And the sellers that
fail to react in some way will be left behind.


Yeah, right. What about the people who don't even have a computer,
or don't trust online transactions? They'll never go near E-bay.


They will be left in the dust. I suppose those who don't have a
computer or don't trust online transactions could try setting up an
ether-based net using morse code. I suspect that it will be largely
one-way communications though.

Who? You didn't include any quote to know to whom you are referring

Resort them by thread by using Google reader. Some of the off-line
readers do a poor job of tracking threads.

It was John S. when he posted on the 30th I was replying to. Mike
plonked him.

It was a joke anyway. Use Google. I can't keep a scorecard on a thread
with 102+ posts either...

Like yours???? To increase the chances someone will understand you
try writing in complete sentences.



Welcome to the bit bucket.

Thanks for the welcome, but I won't be staying. I take it you are in
charge of the bit bucket?
