After 867 pages and the topic first being brought up on page one, the pedants on the "annoys me" thread are still whining about incorrect use of apostrophes.

When you choose a Trader on Trademe based on their Feedback / Statements of holding the stock in Auckland, and shipping within 2 days!

Yet you pay immediately last week with TM Ping. And nothing further heard or seen since! No reply to email either!

...and now negative feedback with the same issues is posted!

Will probably have to file a dispute tomorrow and buy elsewhere.

If someone has a reasonable amount of good feedback and then has a patch where things aren't going to plan, there may be a good reason (illness, death in the family, communications systems failure etc).

I often see feedback used as a weapon. It can be frustrating when people don't respond/deliver in a timely fashion, but sometimes a little understanding goes a long way :)

Well, it's been a while. We wouldn't want you to get all complacent now, would we?

I'm never complacent. We should appeal to BDFL to set the default font in these threads to Comic Sans.

I can see some evil person writing a script to turn every lose into loose, and to swap its and it's. You could probably end up powering a small town from the involuntary twitching that would bring on.

When you have people moaning about other people's moaning within a thread specifically started for moaning.🙂

Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not ****ing blue!

I ordered a part for my bike from the UK on Tuesday and decided NOT to pay for the expedited shipping.

It was dispatched almost immediately.

It is currently with the courier driver for delivery.

Colour me impressed with Wiggle and DHL!!

Getting my yearly Flu-Shot yesterday. The injection would have to be in my top 5 of all time "painless" ones :-)

24 hours later, no sign of injection site, or side effects. Best I've ever had - hope it wasn't just saline!

Scotland did that to their snow plows.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.
