I realize some people don't like it, but this is a competitive world we live in, so whatever honest advantage you can make for yourself, you better take it. I guess the people who don't like change and progress should be riding hobby horses in their races!

Hi, David---
I said "stoop" half in jest, but only half so because there are people out there who take offence at such devices and even have a distaste for last-second manually-placed "snipes." I know, I know, it's an auction and a dog-eat-dog world, but still some peoples' sense of fair play calls for all bids to be up front and early. We could go round and round debating the ethics of this....
Cheers,
