Dear List;
I agree with Jim! The delete button is what one needs to figure out,
Eye to Brain to Finger to Delete button. Fragmenting meteorites to this
list, that list,all over the place due to lack of using a delete key
finger....and being upset with modern business
practices....EG....EBAY...is just sour grapes, get a life!
I welcome ebay adds to the list most of the time and refuse to shop to a
dozen different places to see adds...Hell, I can still find ebay.com and
bypass a bunch of lists if that was the direction needed. Old timers
should rest prehistoric views.
Thanks Jim,
Dave Freeman
