That may be the case in Europe. And I'm sure there are others like you here in the US. But there is a very large, and growing, segment of people...
That is why I asked. I obviously misunderstood. I thought you were saying that there had never been an auction at all. I did not realize that you...
It's not that funds are needed to fix the forum. Funds are always needed just to keep it in existence. To pay the bills in other words. Do you...
