JoannI have to say I feel a little bad for Pete regarding his comment about this board. I don't know him at all, but from everything I've heard he's a decent guy.
It's no secret that this forum will dissect the heck out of just about anything the major auction houses disclose or do. For him to point that out is completely understandable, and I don't think his choice of language is all that different from what any of us might say in an informal moment.
These things always remind me of something my mom used to say ever since we were very, very small - and it comes true much of the time. "Don't ever write anything down that you wouldn't want printed in the newspaper." Good words to live by - I'm pretty careful with anything written because of that. And what's happening here with Pete's comment is a perfect example of why it's good practice.
