Dunno why the guy got so upset. Sniping is perfectly legitimate. Yeah,
I know... he WOULD have bid more if he'd known you were gonna snipe
it, right? Well, why the hell DIDN'T he, then???
Rule #1: To win, learn the rules of the game and then play them to your
own advantage.
Rule #2: If you don't follow Rule #1, DON'T blame the guy who did!
Regards,
Chris
