	Ain't got nuttin' to do with being an amateur  ...but what's
that old sayin:   'We learn from our Mistakes.'
	Twouldn't call this a Mistake  --  jest a Learnin' Experience.

	We are going to have our limits  --  and someone else's limit
might be greater than ours  --  we can always be outbid!
	Don't lose sleep over it, Don!
	The flip side is that if you weren't on the net at all you
wouldn't know what you are missing  --  and you wouldn't have
won  *any*  bids.
