The ebay season begins....... ( includes ikariae/ woronowii comparisons)

[Diane Clement]

I see the fake 'Flocon' (click link and check seller's other items) on Ebay is now at £30.!    

The picture looks like a giraffe

Thanks for the weather forecast chaps, we'll have to get in touch with them directly I think!

[Anthony Darby]

I should have realised it was that seller again

Is it the same seller?

looks like it! same bad spelling

Rob, your quotes aren't working.  The general format for html is to start with [something] and end with [/something].  You are starting and ending with an ending " [/quote] " so it doesn't work.

Since spelling is rightly a concern, would you care to edit your personal postscript slightly to amend the current "intrested"? (I know these things shouldn't jar but.......)

I was about to phone Ebay, someone else can do it next time, re this listing. I cant find it. Is it gone already?

Do ebay respond to dubious offerings that are not true to name when You complain/inform them?
Kind regards

whoops, not sure why that quote didn't work that time normally does!

yes my spelling is not allways 100% correct (I'm not a academic), but this sellers is absolutely atrocious just look at his text in the listing

i know intresting should be spelt interesting but for some reason its not allways recognised in spellcheck, (maybe its a American spelling?) so i often use the former
(its not recognised on this spell check either! )

rob

I agree Spellcheck has its limitations. It doesn't help with tedious things like capitals or apostrophes either.  Do you think it would be better if we followed the Birmingham City Council (sorry, birmingham city council) line and dispense with these complications altogether? Life would be so much simpler.

Whilst you're all on the niceties of posting, how do I quote just a little bit of someones text ?

If you click the quote button on the top right of the message, you get the whole message in quotes displayed in the reply box. Simply highlight the bits you DON'T want and press delete.

Yes, I like it.  The next time I create a new snowdrop, I'm going to call it Diane's giraffe
Oh and before Mr buttercup says it, I suppose I'm sticking my neck out 

[Maggi Young]

It is a matter of some regret to me that the Spellcheck seems to have serious shortcomings, or perhaps it is  simply exhausted?

Thanks Vivien, I'll try this.  Good name Diane    for one with a long pedicel
