Just adding my support.......................best wishes...

Reminds me of when the ebay board community was a community...............even if we did fight a lot....

I never post anymore ,but make this exception for an exceptional responder and font of Ebay knowledge

(and enthusiastic partaker of many a good forum 'debate'  )

I stand ,humbled,head bowed and moist eyed at the thought of losing my good friend

I Remember The Q&A Board You Had To Be Brave To Pop In There

        Sorry To Hear Someone Is Poorly

As the proud owner of a number of this lady's cartoons and having had a number of 'contentious' debates with her, both on Q&A and the groups I am truly sorry to hear the sad news.

I learned on the old Q & A boards, that posters sometimes rose from the dead.

Ah yes, the old Q&A where you needed a Flak Jacket and a Hard Hat to enter, the Friday night RT bun fights (that very often continued all week-end), the posters who had so many IDs, they'd quite often forget who they were, and start arguing with themselves.

I don't know which song is most apropos, Mary Hopkin's 'Those Were The Days', or Bowie's 'Changes'.

For some reason, Mozart sticks in my mind.

Sad news

Reading this thread gave me goose bumps and brought to my mind all the people I have personaly lost or are in ill health at the moment.

I am not remotely religeous but there is a lot of truth in the saying

There for the grace of god go all of us..........

Someone dies and we are not allowed to name them..since when??

Tommy, several posters have died and the news has been passed around by personal message

because of the despicable behaviour of some of the people who visit the boards

We've even had an example, just this week
