I guess I don't see it that way.  What you said is factually correct,
but I've noticed that when I am bidding against other hobbiests (mostly
people on this list), they don't snipe each other.  

In my twisted little world I sort of felt there was a gentlemanly
agreement not to snipe each other.

personally I would concider it bad mojo to snipe against another list
member.  am I a fool?

(ok, don't answer that :-)

in auto racing people who play dirty often find themselves up the creek
without a friend, just when they need one...
