Chuck, holster your guns cowboy! I said that in jest as a comment about what
happened in the last seconds of the bid. Tom and I had been anxiously
awaiting the final seconds of the bidding. We had discussed whether it would
inch up or go all of a sudden. It jumped in the last second from just about
$1200 to $1613, so Tom is out a little more than he would have been without
that bid, but still, he won it so he got it for within what he had allocated
to pay. I have nothing against someone bidding, particularly red-turbo who I
understand is not a listmember but a Richard Sachs fan, as am I. Just a
comment is all I was making. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
