[PRCo] Re: Interesting Items on eBay (grande finale)

[Dietrich, Robert J.]

I don't usually get into these discussions but here goes.  

John says he was asked to stop clicking on the mail-this-item button on
E-Bay.  Was that from someone on this list?  If so then my vote is "John
keep clicking".  Most of the items John shows us are relevant to the whims
of this list, at least as relevant as topics introduced by other list
members.  I'll admit that I don't care about some of those E-Bay items but
that is what the delete key is for.  I would like to make one suggestion, if
it is possible John put a word or two about the subject in the title.  

Some of the discussions that follow John's postings tend to drift away from
the stated course of the list but that is no reason to stop the posting of
the original message.  

Someone suggested we could  search E-Bay for the things we are interested
in.  Not me.  I don't have the time or inclination to add another time
robber to my life.  I really do like to be surprised once in awhile, though,
with a good West Penn or PRCo picture that can be mine for $25.00  or free.

This is a most interesting group and we shouldn't thwart the free exchange
of ideas, information, opinions, and pictures.

Thanks for listening.

Bob

No Pittsburgh-relevant material is ever inappropriate for this list. I've
never meant to imply otherwise.
