Steve and Kim- I for one, feel personal attacks on the CR list are non-productive. Steve, while your intensions may have been good, the auction was about an out of time line issue anyway. Then Kim feels the need to respond. We have seen these things escalate and create bad mojo for everyone involved. I for one, suggest both of you please take it off list.
