Hmm, waitasec... John... When you say "we'll," does that mean that the
auction you were pointing to was your own?
If so, the obvious next question is how come you didn't simply not host
copies of the images on your separate non-auction website and point to those
instead, if all you wanted to do was point people to nice scans of the new
sets? Is it not unreasonable to wonder whether you were trying to sneak an
auction announcement into a non-auction group?
