       BA> And you claim that *I'M* lying?              one must also understand that just because an echotag is expired, it is still       in the list for a random amount of time after the expiration specifically to       prevent timed take-overs based on the expirations... it used to be a race       between bots as soon as the expiration hit to see who could beat the original       owner's bot to the draw... the random removal from the database handles that       quite well while still allowing the original owner to renew the listing up       until such time as the expired listing is actually removed from the database...              )\/(ark               * Origin: (1:3634/12)    |
