You missed it.  I said "

"

Notice the phrase "when surfing on Ebay for...".  Again, Joe User's world wouldn't necessarily know about the government regulations on anything (except to complain more than likely that there are too many w/o any sort of concrete recollection as to what they are or apply to what/when/where/why/how much)

Ok, this is becoming tangential to the point of absurdity! AUGH! I need a Belgian Pale Ale or a Jever!
