Ebay made some changes to their website last night; perhaps that 'broke' these tools. But I bet they'll be working again before long. --- At 9:22 PM -0400 6/27/06, William Weiland wrote: Randall Petersen wrote: You can get the 411 on any private ebay

Cool. Now we can all go back to kibbitzing about who beat out who after the auctions end. That was a big part of the fun factor of bidding on BH auctions, before they all went private. --- At 9:32 PM -0500 6/27/06, Bruce Hershenson wrote: Why we no

Incidentally JR, I suggest you re-consider regularly mentioning me in a positive light. You might find that the Hershenson haters out there start attacking you, maybe even calling you a joke, and I wouldn't want that to happen Bruce, most of the people who criticize you don't hate you at all.

It's easy to block any ebay seller, if you used the Advanced Search feature. Under Advanced Search, go to 'From Sellers', click the button for 'From specific sellers', pull down the menu to 'Exclude', and enter the sellers name or names. Save the search, and from then on you will never see those

Agree 110%. Every American should watch this. Even if you're predisposed to disagree with the premise, the movie still makes some cogent points. And Eisenhower's farewell address and other comments about the 'military-industrial complex' (his term, of course) have proven quite prophetic.
