Why All Auction Houses Should Publish A Code of Ethics

Rand,
Your presumption that you know what I mean by my words better than I do is beyond arrogant! I do not know you. I do not think we have ever met or conversed. What is confusing to me is why you think you understand my intentions better than I do, why you can't take my words at face value, and why you even care what I think. I clearly stated that I was not defending or denigrating Mastro auctions by my comments. Even if I was defending Mastro Auctions (which I wasn't), who cares? I work in a profession in which a premium is placed upon the precision with which one chooses their words. I am very careful with what I say, particularly on potentially sensitive topics such as this one. That is why I repeatedly suggested you go back and look at what I actually said. If it is still confusing to you, I am sorry. I am not interested in prolonging this debate any further. It seems like a senseless waste of time to me.
Happy collecting,
JimB
