Jeez, no wonder the rest of the world hates 
Americans.  Why should a European businessman 
inconvenience himself in order to accommodate 
us?  I am sure he has many customers all over 
the world (I know that there are a great number 
of Europeans here on the forum) and as others 
have pointed out, there is no way to post at a 
time that is convenient to everyone so Yann 
simply posted at the time that was most 
convenient to him.  As far as his timing 
being 'eccentric' and 'ill-timed' the time 
difference is seven hours from the central 
timezone.  Do the math.

  If you're going to make a list and sit on it 
in the hopes that they will go on sale some day 
then you pretty much have to expect that they 
will be sold out from under you eventually, sale 
or no sale.

  I lost a wishlist cel on e-bay today because I 
had to be in class.  You don't hear me griping 
at the guy who set the auction time for not 
taking into account bidders in other time 
zones.It's unfortunate that you missed the cels 
you wanted but grow up. Or, to quote Dennis 
Leary, "Life's hard, get a helmet."
