I have no idea what you post means, John, or what the point is, with or without the <g>s. So what else is new?

To everyone, please, please, please... if something is on eBay that you want, by all means bid on it. If you really want it, snipe. EBay is what eBay is. It's not a popularity contest. If you're going to not like me because I snipe, that's your choice. It's how eBay is done well. Look at the bright side... you don't have to agonize so much over bidding on something I've already bid on <g>!
