I am sure that we all have our pet peeves. Apparently referring to that
auction place gets some "shorts in a wad", it doesn't bother me.
What bothers me is having a response to a thread held for a day and then
when it is posted the thread has moved on. Now that isn't too bad, but to
noticed that there are many replies that appear almost immediately after a
question or new twist to the thread. This indicates that for some reason
some list members are moderated and others are not.
My 2 cents FWIW.
