Well now Fred, I would suggest that you read some of the postings before you shoot your mouth off like that.

Go back through the postings and find even one of mine where I listed only an item number, or even find a for sale from me.

I've only suggested an easier way to deal with item numbers, but if you don't like easy then feel free to do it the hard way or not at all, I really don't give a damn.
