Tom, I'm troubled by the tone of your post.

A real "us vs. them" thing. Many of these "bidders" are members of the CR list just like you and I. The CR list has a very international make up nowadays unlike when it first started and was mostly Americans.

I'm sure you meant it in a joking way, but posting "Japanese Super Power Defeated!" strikes me as more than slightly jingoistic and insulting.
