   What is this lunacy? You're dying? You think there might be a load of   
   collectors out there, or even traders, who are silently dying? Sod that, give   
   ME your stuff, retro fans who   
   are somehow dying 30 years early from organ failures. I'll look after your   
   cool and now valuable stuff!   
      
   Man, this isn't fair, I was here in 1995 and collecting at the same time. I'd   
   turn down a ZX Spectrum at 6 pounds as too expensive at a car boot sale, now   
   they sell on bloody Ebay   
   for 60! I lost all my treasure in a house move, it was a bad decision! I want   
   all this crap!   
      
   Anyone else remember Ebay's original URL before it was Ebay? It was   
   something.com/something/ebay or something like that, maybe a law firm. Very   
   odd! Did the Altavista beta test   
   succeed? It's the sort of thing we need!   
      
   Ben, sad about your health man, but a trader asking for free stock   
   "donations", if that's what your rather confusing post meant... that's a bit   
   cheeky.

   if love is a drug, then, ideally, it's a healing, healthful drug... it's   
   kind of like prozac is supposed to work (without the sexual side   
   effects and long-term damage to the brain and psyche)
