My mother taught me at a very young age "That if you have nothing nice to say about somebody, don't say anything at all." Life is too short for whining.
These on list complaints should be kept private and off list.

You make me-and others sick. Once again you use the list as your personal WHINE outlet. When others post such warnings to the list-YOU criticize them. Are we supposed to ignore the fact that for you the CR list exists solely as a forum for your arrogance and as a means for you to hype your eBay sales. I have added you to my auto-delete button.
