How offended are you by the general level of misplaced auction posts (this
past week or so has been ridiculous, I wonder what's causing it)? How do you
feel about the "best offer by" deals (which are in effect sealed bid
auctions)? Do you feel Tammy's trade offer was being turned into an auction
(as a participant, I did feel it was being turned into an auction, though I
understand what Tammy was trying to do, another case of a fuzzily worded
post causing a thermonuclear reaction)?
