I agree with you DR Spock. The question is, is a spanking in order, or should he be sent to his room without his dinner?
I am sure Ward and June Cleaver would know what to do about The Beaver. The bottom line (more seriously) in the whole issue under discussion is that ONE agrees to use e*ay based on ONE'S agreement of their User Agreement. Don't click AGREE, you don;t get to use it. And that part of that User Agreement is that ONE agrees to any changes they might decided to make, even if it requires ONE to grip the back of the chair and grit one's teeth. In British Navy terms, it's called taking ONE'S turn in the barrel. Except at the moment the rats are deserting the sinking ship at last. They have had enough of their rum, bum and concertina as the other old Navy saying goes. The rum is decidedly not as rich as it used to be, the concertina is not as much fun as it used to be, and the bum is decidedly tender from being in that damn barrel too many times. And that's enough metaphor's, mixed messages, and references to old TV shows and the British Navy for one post. There's a great line from one of Noel Coward's great live albums about Texas or Las Vegas or some such place, but I'll be buggered if I can remember exactly what it is.

When it comes to posters, I am a notorious tight wad. If I am willing to pay $50 for a poster, I will not pay $51. "When it comes to shipping -- I DO NOT factor the shipping into the cost of the poster. If you think that I will pay $10 more for your item becasue "Free Shipping" -- you are sadly mistaken. If you included "Free Shipping" and failed to provide adequate packaging and insurance, I would be very upset -- not unlike how I feel when I pay too little for shipping and the item arrives damaged, or when I pay too much and the item arrives intact but poorly packed. Evan" The above is what I addressed in my email and it is illogical and not what you stated to the contrary in your last email. A $50 poster with $10 shipping is more than a $51 poster with free shipping. Anyone who does not factor this in makes no sense. Name calling does not change the substance of your reasoning.
