[AT] Charity auction

OK Grouch mode on:  The suggestion was made on the list to everyone.  If
everyone's opinion didn't matter, it should have been emailed only to
those who donated and/or are participating in the auction.  There are
other needs here at home, many related to agriculture, or old tractors,
which are worthy needs and will still be here.

In short, if you don't want everyone's opinion, don't ask for it.

Grouch mode off and respectfully submitted
Al

I did my bidding and lost but have bid in the past and won so thinking I

might have a secondary vote here...........and I agree with those that
said 
it would be better spent at home!
