Well, yes. I *begged* repeatedly for more information on how that was 
going to work so I could explain it in the literature. They didn't 
even have a coordinator for the LIVE auction until the meeting before

he was overwhelmed.

Humph. Unless they have a volunteer to layout and print for free (I'm 
rolling off my chair laughing here) then they are dead wrong.

d@mn computer and knows how to work the CapsLock key.
