Reply to "6 Second Lead Time, Bid at 43 Seconds...."

Please!
Is there a more stupid statement than "it is not the last bid...it is the highest bid."
There cannot be a more trite and silly reply. Why is it the mantra here? Obviously, the high bid wins. What news! We all know that. The issue keeps coming up because AS does not consistently place bids when the bidder expects them to be placed. I understand why though i don't agree with the reasoning and think bids should always be placed at the designated second.
It seems to me thay this issue could be put to rest if AS would simply send each new memeber an email explaining why bids are often placed earlier. Just make it clear up front and there would be far less ticked off bidders. I think you should be able to opt for an "always place my bid at MY designated time, regardless" option.
And anyone that cannot place a bid in the last 10 seconds has serious computer issues. And to say that it is unlikely anyone could bid in the last 45 seconds is just inane.
