Thank you, Sir :-)

LOL
That with the snipping bids was a good one, I am *always* snipping the
auctions I'm watching, so it is not possible to know if an rcc-er is bidding
on the same auction !
But as I said, I am only doing that with rcc-ers that already have bids on
that given auction.

A good night to all, it's almost 3 in the morning in this part of the world
