This morning, as usual, I checked my spam, to see if any good mail was in it. That happens sometimes, often enough that I routinely check it.
Today in my spam I had a fake bid addressed from me for the SIGNA back issues auction. It was, by the way, a rediculously low bid, much less than my last real bid.
Rodney, all my bids that you have replied to were really from me and are serious bids. I appreciate that you are responding promptly, so we know our bids are being recieved. And if you recieve fake bids suposedly from us we can let you know they are fake.
I want to say that every time I have dealt with SIGNA, the ASI, AIS, and all the other iris groups, everything has been
polite and bussiness-like. The
people are as nice as the iris. Thanks to everyone involved.

Subject: [iris-species] SIGNA back issues
auction
Hi All,
SIGNA Member Lou Emmons has donated her collection of SIGNA newsletters back to the organization. She would like these to go to a SIGNA member and, short of drawing names, we've decided to auction them. This collection would be ideal for a newer member.
Included are 41
issues: #40,
Spring 1989 thru #80, Spring 2008. The total cost,
if purchased from our publications chairman, would be over $200. The winner would be responsible for postage of approx $10 for parcel post. The minimum starting bid is $20 (not including postage). Bidding ends 6 pm Sunday, Feb. 5th. I'll conduct this by e-mail so send me a starting bid OFF LIST to rbartontx@yahoo.com. All proceeds go to the SIGNA general fund.
In fairness I have to say that we are working on providing back issues in electronic form. Some of you may prefer to wait for that, but I don't have an estimate of when those will be available.
Thanks!
Rod
