[time-nuts] Austron 2202

[Bruce Lane]

	Huh? I just checked one auction, just to see if this was accurate, and none of the bidder ID's were hidden.

	Link to see for yourselves: http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=130068582446

	Now, it IS possible that you may have seen a 'Private' auction, in which case the bidder ID's are indeed anonymized. However, I don't think Ebay is doing this as general policy.

	For the record: My own ID is 'bftbell.'

	Keep the peace(es).
