Unfortunately something has came up this evening so reveal will at best be slow, and possibly postponed.

No worries Sccott, no rush, & I hope all is well at home.

Was nothing major, I had simply forgotten that I'd promised to help someone out.

First time I've ever been in the lead of one of these things, though the sample size (21,956) is small.

[tikay]

We didn't have to pass one did we?

1. In what year was eBay founded?

Answer: 1995

eBay used to display when you opened your account but it seems to have gone now; think mine was June 2000. My first transaction was a sale, had a hifi stand that was taking up space. Was expecting maybe £30, sold it for £140.
