MAN WHAT A STINKER !! I sure brought the list to life tonight. Just think what I could do by actually breaking a rule! Over the years I have been on several lists, and it seems all of them have had a no "E-bay" posting rule, and to be honest I did not consider that it may not apply to the Vanagon list, and I chose to err on the side of caution and say "E-place". So you all have my most humble apologies for causing a tiff, and I will always say Ebay from now on. Cheers Howard
