I see that no matter what I say, you're right in your mind. It's ok though.
If you can't handle Ebay, at least the dock is up there for all of the
inquiries to see what it is etc.. I won't go to the SWAP list for the same
reasons you quoted for Ebay, so stalemate.
We had a work- study student use my name/company name on the SWAP list.
He's scheduled for court next month. Ironically, he had someone burn him for
a fan for a LC520 all-in-one unit. So, your world there is not so peachy
either.
