The guy shoulda put it all in one post. I'd much rather get rid of these PARKER SHNIEL IS A posts and whatnot. We actually had a minor flame war not too long ago with correspondents that started a new thread for each post. Even though it was OT, nobody would have minded if they just kept it all in one thread. As far as eBay, I don't think they give a flying fornication, they make money when things sell. They care quite a bit about what you put on a page <uthere</u though, and they charge big bucks to put a _link_ in unless it's to an image hosting service or your other eBay auctions. I respect the space provided for use by this NG, and when it comes to doing business here, I take it to email. One day I will be selling some unusual items from my boneyard, but what you'll see is <uone</u post with a _link_ to a page in my personal webspace. This stuff is not beanie babies, Fords or snowblowers. We're talking more like an old Pioneer LD p_layer_ with a real laser in it, some old professional video stuff, valuable parts that are NLA etc. Five posts was a bit too much, but for me it wasn't enough to complain about, I've seen it alot worse. Starting more NGs has been discussed, separating advanced troubleshooting from basics and perhaps others. I would but I lack the resources to do so. My two cents. JURB P.S. I put quotations around real about the laser because I made that remark before and got schooled by Mr Goldwasser and others. I used to think a semiconductor laser was nothing but a glorified LED. What I mean here is that it has a gas laser with a high voltage supply (and it does work if you defeat the interlock
). JURB
