Maybe for him, but other posters are buying this reason. It simply doesn't make any sense.
I'm aware, as many other regular posters, that @inhawaii mostly posts sarcastic stuff. I and others have warned him about that as there are other posters to the threads that are new or infrequent and they take what he says at face value, not as sarcasm. So sometimes his attempts to be funny fall flat and can lead some in the wrong direction. I know he does not mean any harm at all. But it does do that from time to time.
Add this to everything you post: /s
It denotes sarcasm for those who don't know your wit oh so well!
I just sent a feedback about messaging and the new (stupid) changes to seller hub. I too have poor eyesight and the letters are just too small. I spend half my day squinting without this change!

ALL the members that don't frequent the site but come here with an issue or question looking for an answer. While the regulars here know the OP well and know he means no harm whatsoever. His desire for comic relief sometimes causes infrequent posters to take him seriously. But even some regulars miss the sarcasm too, just read the thread. Some absolutely took the OP seriously.

Sometimes I just can't resist.
This was one of those times.
I actually understand. But a Sarcasm note would be good. I've suggested it before, but I know you resist it as your posts may not get the traction for entertainment you desire.
I respect you a lot. You have great knowledge of Selling and of Ebay. And I know this will fall on deaf ears as I've said it before, but you don't want to do it. You need to say it is sarcasm for those that do not know your posting style and this thread is a great example of why. You get people to fall down your rabbit hole and it can sometimes mislead a member seeking help. I just don't get why you have always preferred not to do this, ESPECIALLY when you start a thread like this.

I get that, but that isn't an excuse from what I previously stated.

HUH?? Do you see having your post marked as the solution as a "win"? Or are you talking about something else.
