When you buy/sell on ebay (or wherever), do you enjoy getting/sending little notes?

I'm sending off the dresses I sold today, and stuck a note in there that said basically "Thank you, hope you enjoy the dresses, please leave me feedback because I'm new to ebay."

I'm going to leave feedback too, it seems only polite, although all I have to say is that she paid the invoice in a day, which is nice. Damn, I'm green on this "selling online" thing.

oh man oh man

Do you see what that is? It's a dedicated cycletrack. It's like a bike lane, except it's marked so you're less likely to get doored. There are special green boxes to help you make left turns (the stretch of road this is on doesn't have any right turns). More information here.

I think it's beautiful. I want to ride it.

This is for only a few blocks at PSU. It's an experiment at this point.

The towns in Europe etc. with huge percentages of people on bicycles, generally have lots of these (or some variation thereof) on traffic-heavy roads.

Vehicular cyclists are of course all pissed off (NEWS FLASH: not every cyclist is comfortable riding with traffic, deal with it). And so are ignorant car-drivers commenting on various news sites (for the last effing time, cyclists DO pay for the roads). Gaaah!
