No where. I'm just miffed at losing so many auctions. The things
I really want end up so high I can't afford them, or someone hits
it at the last second mark. Anyway, it's been a great discussion.
Apparently there is as much insanity off eBay as on. Many has been
the time someone posted something silly and I checked and found the
truth, never to mention it at all. No need to, for there will always be
someone on the usergroups to dispute things for me.
Thank you all who participated in my study of usergroup activity. ;-)
