If when people post their Ebay things they inform us that would fill our little list with commerce wouldn't it? And that's not what we apparently want is it? Why would an Ebay listing make it more appropriate to sell stuff on the LUG on other days that Fridays? I know. It does not say it anywhere in stone that sale day is only Fridays. But so far that is the way the list has worked and everyone has pretty much respected that. I think it's fine for Ebay to take over the commerce of the world but I don't see why it needs to take over the workings of this list. If you are so very concerned that your pals here on the LUG not get a fair warning on your Ebay listings then do your Ebay listings on Friday. That's my opinion. I do not consider buying things sold here other than Fridays. I delete them immediately without looking out them. Mark Rabiner
