Geezer, I am surprised you missed it when Krispy used the word 'prescience' when he really meant to say 'presence'. TWICE! Post #60 Post #96 When I read post #60 at first I thought Krispy was saying bid sniping software could predict the future. I thought I would sign up if the bid sniping software could predict the maximum bids of other bidders but then I realized he simply used the wrong word. (That 'ci' changes the entire meaning of the word, doesn't it?) presence - the state of existing, occurring or being present in a place or thing. [Note that 'present' and 'presence' are closely related and the first six letters of each word are the same.] prescience - the ability to foresee the future
