To All List Members,
        Please be advised of the following note I received from a fellow
list member who attended Al's auction:

--
>$1525 was not the hammer price, just that highest amount bid live.
> There were numerous absentee bidders with higher bids. Al was
> going to sort those out after the auction.
--
        I would like to encourage all list members to immediately
stop forming judgments about Al's auction and allow him time to get
home and sort everything out and communicate with the people
involved directly. 
        If those involved do not then feel they were treated fairly, then
they can make a big brew-ha-ha out of it. Until then, as Geoff pointed
out, it make better sense to extend Al the benefit of the doubt.
        In keeping with this theme, assuming this new information I
was given is accurate (and I have no reason to believe it isn't) readers
should logically recognize that reported sales prices are NOT BEING
ACCURATELY REPORTED.
        Best wishes, Michael
