To be perfectly up front, there's a lot about this upcoming auction that bothers me. Not much need to repeat what has been already said. I will say that I looked back through the comments when Diggory posted his reply, and I just don't see any venomous remarks. Maybe we really are seperated by our useage of a common lanquage. I think the concerns mentioned are real and need to be addressed by Charlton Hall, and not by either George L., who brings his own set of baggage, or Diggory. Methinks auctions in the UK are much different than we are accustomed to here in the US. With all that has been brought out already, I'll not be absentee bidding, that's for sure. I may attend and hide and watch, though, I'm not very far. I would enjoy meeting Dig and a few other folks from this board anyway.
