Mike & Frank & Todd,

Well, you don't have to prove anything to me, first of all.  I gave an honest
opinion/interpretation of your first post, and pointed out that it didn't
convey what you thought it conveyed.

I don't perceive any particular deceitfulness or maliciousness in the act,
like I said, you don't have to prove anything to me.

I don't see writing it off to laziness as the answer, but again, that's just
my opinion.  "I'm lazy" sounds like an excuse, and I don't think Todd wants an
excuse.

You're a smart guy, do what Larry said - agree to NOT be lazy and agree to
keep auction-related stuff only in bst, and agree that should you choose to be
lazy and do a bad thing again, you'll accept being banned from bst for good
without complaint.

I happen to think posting a list of sets/parts/items on a page, with specific
prices, or maybe even "make offer" with an indication that anything not sold
through straight-sale method would at a later time be auctioned off is
perfectly legitimate.  I'm doing the same thing myself right now, just not
publicly.  But were I to post something like that publicly in bst, I'd make
double-sure it was clear I was looking purely to sell at this time, with the
option to auction if things weren't snatched up.  But I'd keep auction-
specific info out of it.
