Some folks want to have rules about auctions in progress to inject a bit of hide and seek into the matter.

Auctions aren't games.


I think all auctions, eBay, mail, auction houses... all auctions can be fairly discussed. Most folks here don't agree with that. I think they don't agree for selfish reasons. And I don't understand how they distinguish between talking about a lot in one of Barry Sloate's auctions and talking about a lot on eBay. Or I maybe I do understand it, it is their desire to interject a bit of hide and seek into it, to their benefit.

I do think that a pending private transaction should not be discussed.



So, to the extent the majority of this board preceive that there are rules about such, Frank B, I think those rules are misguided, and would not fault you for transgressing them.
