davidcyclebackJoe, here's a brief summary/translation of the above conversation between John and myself:
Josh: "Was Steve saying there is shilling?"
Me: "No, I don't think he was saying there is shilling. I don't believe anyone is implying that the seller is shilling in this auction."
If you find great controversy in that conversation, that is your choice. As I type there is still only a single bid from YorktownSC, so I didn't think I was going out on a limb when I doubted anyone was accusing the seller of shilling.
I understand you dislike the 'Mr. X designation' and, beleive it or not, I also dislike the 'Mr. X.' designation. I just didn't think it as big a deal as some did. I find the 'Mr. X' silly rather than offensive. If you find it offensive rather than silly, that's fair.
