It was enough that I can see how RSOC might *not* have thought that the RSE would take early bidding the way she did. Perhaps it was all a big failure to communicate rather than RSOC's failure to understand that it was essentially telling the RSE to get lost -- perhaps it was even a failure on the RSE's part rather than RSOC's. Now, I don't really know the full story, and was on vacation during this entire dust-up, so before I comment further I'll have to re-read that post by Sarah B. and any others by RSOC and IAB members. The point of _this_ post is that Sarah B.'s post seems to have gotten lost in the noise. Nico --
