Hi Bob,

>>>>>Can we now stop beating this dead horse?>>>> Who's horse? Now don't accuse us of animal cruelty.

Actually, the the thought process had changed here, the last message wasn't exactly a major referral to the "Reserve" auction process but more about GREED.

Hope we didn't touch a nerve here. :>(

I for one don't think my not participating in any "Reserve" auction will cause them to cease to exist. Just point out that seller's may be loosing many a bidder by using them.

However, I might rethink about bidding if the "Reserve" has been met and at a level which would entice me to still post a bid. So my "NEVER AGAIN" statement would only apply if the "Reserve" had not been met.
