We're Validating Addresses for Seamless Delivery on eBay .
Presumably eBay has got tired of sewing raw edges.

Well, I think the whole thing will be ridiculous. I already have problems because computers need the information to be EXACTLY correct in a manner that is just plain stupid. For example, I live in a Crescent which one end of the Crescent says Cr and the other end says Cres. I don't like abbreviations coming from an era when we weren't allowed to use them, so I use Crescent. Australia Post does not recognize this, but insists it must be "Cres" whereas other places won't recognize "Cres" but insist it be "Cr" then some insist it be "Ct" which is actually the abbreviation for "Court" Then I have the problem with phone numbers, my landline phone is "invalid" according to a lot of sites. There must be some law out there that says everyone (every sheep) must have a mobile phone and that landlines no longer exist. I couldn't join Facebook because I do not know how to text. There must be some law about this also, although I cannot find it.
Common sense has gone out of the window with computers checking everything and only being as intelligent as the people who program them, need I say more. How many times have I seen words like tomorrow spelt as to morrow because that is how the computer sees it. How I long for the good old days when common sense prevailed and things were run and checked by humans and not machines. I guess if this latest one causes me problems, I will be tempted to head for the hills and get away from society altogether.

Common sense certainly isn't very common these days
