You should have known then that when I posted it, there were 0, zero, nada,
etc. bids on it. If it makes you feel any better, you can look at my
posting as an open invite for listmembers here to join the ccauction list. I
told you before it started that starting the list would defeat your purposes
of keeping auction items secret, and it had done quite well in that regard!
I might add, it doesn't include everything, but it includes enough to make
for interesting reading.
