It&#039;s a set of symbols or sounds, arranged according to a grammar, with meanings <i>mutually understood by the people using it</i>. You don&#039;t get to change the meaning of a word, then insist that your meaning is correct and only &quot;group think&quot; is preventing others from realizing it. That&#039;s not how language works.</p><p><br /></p><p>I honestly <i>am</i> trying to figure out where you&#039;re coming from on this. It sounds like you have some notion that the sniping programs actually react in response to other last-minute bids, more quickly than a human can. That&#039;s not the way it works. They simply launch a bid request at a scheduled time. They can adhere to the schedule more rigorously than a human pushing a button, but that doesn&#039;t make any difference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
