It costs $.60 each time you BID?! Who runs this thing? Pete Defazio?

nah. it couldn't be ...

This post nails it. I could quibble about a few things -- "insane" is in the eye of the beholder, and a period of time short of "forever" can last a lot longer than common sense might lead one to believe -- but, all-in-all, it leaves nothing more to be said, IMHO.
