Spencer:

Having read this one and the latest post today, I am a little puzzled
by your comments.

I did comment on the original request about the Tsunami fund as the
email was broadcast to the SEL List as a whole, and I added my comment
on the basis that that is what you wanted.

I did not get time this Xmas to get involved as I had already
explained, but have done in the past, the last three auctions in fact.
I didn't know if participating in the auction was a prerequisite for
me to comment on the Tsunami fund as there was no comment about that
from you in your original post.
