I was the first bidder. I was outbid sometime over night by username = thedisreputabledog. I mention the name because next to the name was a little icon saying, "This person changed it's user id with in the last 30 days. OH the former username was lorien2891.

Sorry about bidding against you, but glad you got a second chance offer as well.I wanted the name Kibeth, from Garth Nix' novels, but it was taken, as was my real name, Lorien (Kibeth is known as the disreputable dog in the novels).
