P3D Re: e'Baize' etc.

["Harold Baize" <baize@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter,
Thanks for the clarification, sorry for being hyper
sensitive! I'm familiar with the "course green pool
table cloth" definition. Makes me wonder why my
ancestors took the name :-) . I guess I was concerned
because of the heated debate over Sell-3D vs. eBay.
I would rather stereo things were sold on Sell-3D, but
then again I have bought a lot on eBay that I would not
have been able to get with out it, specifically video
boards for my computer that are "stereo friendly".

Yours,
the other Baize.
