| (...) Hmm, I thought it would be OK if Ben posted it too. (After seeing Larry's message yesterday about X.com, Ben asked me what I thought about his posting a message about alladvantage.com.) I told Ben I thought it was fine (didn't break any LUGNET (...) (25 years ago, 17-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.market.theory)
