I fear that the discussions here regarding that "fix finder" auctioned on ebay last month may have been directly responsible for sending the final price through the roof. People read here to find out about auction items. If something like this comes up again, I would recommend creating a small group on googlegroups (or similar). It's very easy to set up, and it's free. You could then set the group to be read by members only. Frank, I suspect your analysis of the "final price" for the fix finder is correct. Instead of making up another "google group" [even if just temporarily] the interested people could just take it off Navlist and use email. Each interested person could easily add the email addresses of those interested to a "list" in their email address book. This would require some address book "maintenance" by those interested and some familiarity with how address books work. Then if we were really paranoid we could all set up PGP on our email client software and encrypt our email traffic. Then only the really really good cryptanalysts with lots of computing power would be able to read the emails regarding the item discussed. By the time "they" cracked our emails the auction would be over. If you are interested in PGP email encryption let me know, unless you use AOL email software in which case I doubt I can get PGP to work. -Scott --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NavList" group.
