Yeah. Don't know why everybody refers to us, er,
them, as 16 engineers. So, allow me to answer a
few questions for the masses:

• Yes, we(aw, fukit) are serious.
  
• We've received serious bids in email, and are talking to several serious people.
  
• We do not yet know why ebay took down the auction...we did not close it, just suddenly got email saying it was canceled. Working on seeing what's up with that. At the worst we'll just post the auction somewhere else. Legal departments can't keep us down! ;)
  
• Regarding the price: Yes, a few of us could probably get 3 million by ourselves(there are some really top notch people in this group), but the fact is we're not shooting for the nearly impossible. The salaries are more than double what we're currently getting, and yes, they are quite cheap for any, say, VC firm with an idea and no team to implement it yet. Can you say one-stop shopping for a startup? For $3.14mil?
  
• Sure, there are more focused ways of looking for a job, but for 16 people at once? Not nearly as easy. We get along quite well together and thought it'd be cool to move as a group. We can't get rid of senior management, so we'll just remove ourselves from the situation.
  
• Regarding who we are...no comment! Don't want to get ourselves in premature trouble, and don't really want to trash the company's reputation...doesn't help much anybody left behind.
