Jim...

I did remember reading about the hoard before bidding, but I couldn't remember the numbers. I've been tracking the chip for about a year and a half and I've seen it trending downward toward the $25 mark, which is where I think it will stabilize. So, I did bid with my eyes open but, as I said, it remains to be seen whether or not I actually wind up with the chip.

I must say that I like the rest of your questions and would be very interested in the answers. If I can unravel any of this mess on my own, I'll share the information.
