Hence eBay. > >>> matt.barker@kutakrock.com: I re-read my earlier post, and it's obviously subject to misinterpretation. I apologize to Mike Gardner. I'm sure Mike is a fine fellow, and he actually did something about a LUG decision that galled me too, but only enough to complain. I was trying, in the sarcastic manner to which I am too often prone, to say what Dan Cardish said in a clear, straightforward way (except I would add that any of us who might be deemed wealthy probably didn't get that way by basing economic decisions on something other than economics). Long live eBay and the Leica Sellers group! Again, sorry Mike.
