I don't trust ebay sellers, that is me being cynical. silverdr claims that because they shouldn't be trusted, then it's not an example of cynical. I think that just means he is cynical too. The emphasis in the sentence was on "incorrectly" when I said "not at all". I thought that was obvious when I wrote it, but I accept I maybe should have been clearer.Received on 2018-09-14 21:00:05
