On another note, I have experienced a member of the CR communitiy who has bid on some of my auctions, present and past who has stuck me in the past and I am awaiting the present to unfold. How is someone supposed to go about following the list watching this person take part on occasion knowing that his ethics basically suck. I also know that this individual has stuck other CR listees. Just curious as to How to handle this situation? Any suggestions?
