May I add my two cents.

First, I loooooooove John Vasco's postings. He has not his tong in his cheek, and he has not what we French call "a wooden tongue". I appreciate.

Second, I have quit bidding for a long time, lack of time and running out of money. But, downloading thumbnails on eBay has been quite helpful to sort out specific markings or codes. Some of them led to colour profiles in my magazine. Furthermore, there are still a few nerds that post 300 dpi thumbnails and even with their "Kopierschutz" that you can easily erase with PhotoShop, these photographs can be printed in any publication with a rather good result. Who owns the copyright? You tell me. And don't say I'am the only editor to have done so. I can give you plenty of examples and you'd be surprised to learn their names.

To be frank, that Ed's lists are posted before or after the auctions end doesn't matter to me.

Now to be back on topic, Ed is a grown-up boy. That's his decision - whatever it is. Let's repect it.
