Johnny,

Moody Blues, circa 1969:

First Man: I think, I think I am, therefore I am, I
think.

Establishment: Of course you are my bright little
star,
                I've miles
                 And miles
                  Of files
              Pretty files of your forefather's fruit
                                     and now to suit
our
                                       great computer,
             You're magnetic ink.

    First Man: I'm more than that, I know I am, at
least, I think I must be.

(End quote)

I always find it exhilirating when I realize that the
cosmos is fiddling with the whole fabric of reality
just to get at me. There's a real sense of
significance in all that. And for Ebay to mess with
their whole search engine just for you? What can I
say? You are truly honored.

Regards,
Norm
