Dear Ed,

I think you are right. Bad for all those guys, who have no paranoia about
"certain artifacts". I've switched my browser settings to "English UK" as
primary language and now EBAY allows me to see all auctions.

Best regards from Red-Green governed Germany
Andreas

off the first "h" in my name?
