You are welcome. I am one of the heaviest proponents of that rule. Tout your own auction, but do not crap on someone else's deal. To me that is only common courtesy.
I always have a dozen searches or so set up on eBay, and I sure get peeved when someone blows all that effort away. Especially as I am poor and live somewhere where you can not find most of the stuff I am looking for.
