Folks,

I guess I shot from the lip. I have had many dealings with Mike Robison over the years without any problems what-so-ever. He is a quality guy. When I looked at the auction, I did not look to see who the seller was, only the bidding. My conclusion was solely based on the bidding record, which is very odd to say the least. My guess is that Mike is going to wind up the victim and that the high bidder will not come through with payment, although I hope it works out OK for Mike ... and the bidders.

The subject line should have read: "Do I smell a shill?" and not "So I smell a shill?". That was a typo, you know the S is right next to the D on the keyboard. It sort of changed the tone of my message from one of a hint to one of an accusation.

Again, Mike I aplogize for this.
