Funny way to end a thread?

The name is Steve actually, but formalities aside, yes I do see it as a
sellers market.

YOUR definition here BTW, not mine, and a cynical one if I may say so.

Appearances are deceptive remember.

As I said to Mike, this is your personal opinion, to which you are entitled.
I respect the fact that you have spoken up and take on board what you have
said. But the phrase "a lot of people" seems to be used liberally when "I"
or at most "a few people" would appear to be nearer the mark. That still
leaves a large majority that either don't share your view or have treated
the exchange as relatively light-hearted.

I dare say, neither would I.

I have no problem with Eric. We exchanged apologies some time ago. End of
issue. If others wish to perpetuate for their own amusement, I'm happy to
play the same game until it gets boring. Unless I'm mistaken, the
*majority* find such banter
entertaining. My own feeling is that the thread has gone on long enough and
is wearing a little thin despite contributions from late adopters.
