I don't recall saying that.  :-(

I remember putting forth the argument that an OBO sale was mathematically
equivalent to a sealed-bid auction.  (Two names for the same function.)

Sealed bid auctions belong in .auction, and OBO sales belong in .b-s-t.

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.

I definitely agree on this.  An auction is an auction, and I consider a
sealed-bid-highest-offer-sale an AUCTION.  It looks and quacks like an auction, it
should be in .auction.



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".
