Skip,
Sorry for the delay in answering this question. You were right in the cause of
my eBay problems. It extended to Acer's list of eBay nicknames as well.
I am rather frustrated that eBay can go into our email and decide whether they
like what we say or not. Maybe we should exclude them from access to our
archives somehow.
