This is very true, Bob, but I was looking at the
whole forest and not just one tree. It's quite
obvious this guy was tutored and either failed to
grasp or just wants to play his way (we suspect the
latter, of course). We also know that both Jim and
Travis are carrying the burden singlehandedly when
they write the sellers, and this is why I referred to the task as a "crusade" which should be our responsibility as a whole to educate those who we expect to talk our language. But to just come on the board (not you, Robert) and yell: "Look at this auction" or "Get a load of this" just doesn't cut it. I don't follow eBay that closely, but I know when I spot a lot where the seller is saying a chip is ivory and I know it's Celluloid composition or whatever, I sure as hell write the seller explaining what ivory looks like and I receive a thank you most of the time -- and others besides Jim and Travis help out, too -- and this is good, but a lot more of us need to help and not #####. Did you see Cher tonight...how did she look?
