Let's try again. You say they're mathematically equivalent but sortable by how
they're labeled (and treated) into one of the two groups.
I say they're mathematically equivalent and therefore all belong in auction,
regardless of label.
Difference of opinion about a subtle point. But your word carries and I am OK
with that. Really. I was trying to end this before it got spun up again. :-(
Why can't you just accept that when I say I accept that you want something a
certain way, that's good enough? You don't always have to be "right".
