This forum does have its lighter moments that make me laugh, and your post was definitely one of them so thanks for that!

I'm glad you liked it. Lightness and laughter are so important. I've noticed how there is a stark contrast between the people who are deadly serious about everything and those who have the ability to be light. The trick is to never let the doom merchants get you down, because there is always something to smile about........ even if sometimes you have to look harder.
One thing that has become apparent since I stopped buying and selling on here is how much lighter I felt inside. I saw somebody said they stopped and felt a sense of relief. It is like a burden lifted. Because basically we are being chipped away at gradually by eBay and it has become really obvious since they ramped their oppressive changes up in quick succession. If they'd done things over a longer period, they might have got away with it, but obviously greed has been the motivator to try to grab everything all at once.
I would imagine they thought we would feel so overwhelmed as they steamrollered us and we'd all just be too confused to resist. Oh, how they underestimate us! But instead, many of us stopped all activity on the platform* and simply poured treacle down and watched the steamroller getting stuck and revving its engine. Summer is coming, so I plan to eat ice cream and watch the sticky situation unfold from a safe distance. That sounds fun.
(*except the forum. Hehe.)
