Hello, Terri,

Today is Friday (aka Glitch Day). It is the day on which eBay IT performs site maintenance. Glichtes and all sorts of eBay technical issues are rife on Fridays.

This is one very good reason for you to avoid listening anything on a Friday and to ensure that nothing that you list ends on a Friday.

I googled this error message; it's been popping up at odd times over the last few years. Generally speaking, these errors tend to go away after the maintenance/tinkering period.

Was that another one of those Glichtes?

joztamps, if only it were...

The only possible excuse I have (apart from the usual reasons for typos - not being careful enough, being rushed, being interrupted mid-post to answer a client's urgent question, etc., etc.) is that my fingers (well, my neck, shoulderblades, back, and both arms as well as the fingers on my right hand) are affected by a medical condition and I'm on the waiting list for surgery which my specialist has said has a very good chance of success. After that, I'll be free! I'll be able to write long posts again!

You wouldn't call the posts I've made so far "long", would you?

Not truly long...

Not really.

Although I have read shorter novels.

It's all Dickens' fault. I read him at too early a stage.

(I will have to try harder to be succinct.)

At least you use punctuation and grammar.

Ah well, you know the dangers of reading too much Proust; who'd want to be hospitalised, lying in a comma for 4,215 pages?
