Thanks for running the auction again and posting the results so quickly. 

The DEAF cabal was remarkably successful last night, but more due to brutal connectivity issues than the expected spiteful bidding.  Oh well, at least I got Holliday and some of the other stuff that I wanted, so it wasn't a complete disaster.  I really hope that the online draft doesn't turn into another nightmare.  <shudder>

Anyway, congratulations to all on spending a staggering $49,619,000 last night.  So close to 50 million, but not quite.  Perhaps we would have made it if I didn't get disconnected 20+ times, usually when trying to bid.  For those who care about historical stuff like this, this is the highest total in the past 5 years.

Okay, that'll do for now.  Time to start planning for the draft...
