  We don't know that for sure. He saw the system and was curious as to what
it was. I think several people emailed him wanting to buy it (Louis was the
only one that did it via this list, from the recipients listed on the
updates I think the others sent him email privately. I indicated an
interested to the list, but I'm not that interested in buying it). I think
he saw an opportunity and took advantage of it.

  I don't think it's that bad in what he did. Price is a bit high for my
tastes but I guess there are people out there that really want a Cannon Cat.

  What if he had gone: ``I have several people who offered to buy it from
me. Should I auction it off here, or what?''
