When I bid,       I do bet my true absolute maximum so that if I'm outbid by only a dollar,       I don't feel bad because the winning bid is more than I was willing to pay       anyway.              Tom Lake              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
