still consider 6 months unacceptable turnaround.
Another longtimer here who admits to being "very slow" in getting out
auction sets STILL managed to keep me up to date/get my sets out
before my frustration meter topped. I don't know if it was the
personal contact, or the email saying "This is current status on your
sets" that made the difference in his case.

If it was anyone other than Todd (or Larry. Or Mike) that I was having
the problem with AND owned the server, I probably would not have
brought it up here. I know that Todd will not mind criticism of what
he does. He won't be upset, pull up shop and go home. Plus, (and this,
too, keeps me from being as upset as I would be with someone else
doing the same thing) I suspect that he, too, realizes the times are
unacceptable.
Someone else mentioned that the reason it is so long is so that the
next AucZILLA auction can get up and running so quickly.
Personal preference, sure, but I would prefer that this auction's
winnings got out faster even if that meant more time between auctions
-- gives folks a chance to build up their money reserves as well
between the two.
