    But they have to build a great bridge to transport it
    If I do not clearly express what I mean, it is either for the reason that having no conversational powers, I cannot express what I mean, or that having no meaning, I do not mean what I fail to express. Which, to the best of my belief, is not the case.

    Has anyone ever actually complained to ebay? Don't bother - they do not want to know. They will not upset a big store in order to look after you. Mongrels.
