Re: Auctopsy

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

You guys did great, by the way... we're talking half "new" people, and 
when you look at it, it appears to have been the highest-grossing plant 
auction in the last 5 years -- certainly the most number of bidders and 
items and splits.  The items went for not-to-outrageous prices, so bidders 
got great deals.  If I'd had more sleep, I'd be gushing even more.  I 
apologize for not being as friendly last night as I could have been... and 
when I got home I took the next four hour fussy baby shift.
