And I'm glad about the hint, since I didn't see the SOL, and
so I was able to put on a 'watch' bid - No Doug, I don't consider
a bid of 30 USD on a SOL as pushing the price ...

Anyway, there are as many pros as cons (I was also at one time realy
mad on Marvin for publishing one of my 'secret' I want it and I want
now and all bids, but I think if one takes a look on the bidder list
it's up to everyone to decide if he wants to go against a list member
(without further notice) or not. In fact, I don't consider this
'advertizeing' a problem at all (now).

Gruss

(I whish we had more offers on alternative systems, but it seams that
the reasonable offers are most time on ePay ... :(
