I think this email update idea is terrible. Some people might not be
at their computer that moment the availability is posted. It will
lead to box sniping. I think we should just be stuck with the list
as it is (fcfs). Maybe email the next recipient to see if he still
wants/is ready for it. If not it goes to the next person. Maybe a
set turnaround time to expidite the process.
