RE: [GSAS-board] Auction help request

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

You're totally right, and I totally missed that more important point.

We've always had help from non-members at the auctions.  Bored spouses, 
kids, visiting sublings who happen to be visiting and are computer 
programmers.  No big deal.  Not exactly like we're going to get in a legal 
battle with some Joe Schmoe off the street who just HAS to be an 
auctioneer.
