The bidwatcher ports seems to get updated by David O'Brien without any notification to this list--which is fine; I'd just thought if a port were changed it would show up here. But I write to ask for a change in the TIMEFUDGE stuff--if left alone a snipe will be placed five minutes before the time requested, not AT THE TIME you requested. Thus I always have to edit the Makefile (since I don't want my bid to go in five minutes in advance. It's not hard to change, it's just that I forget to do so and this five minute fudge seems to take away the very point of the program, which is to make a bid so late others cannot respond. So could we have the TIMEFUGDE set at 0 rather than 300 seconds? I try to remember to edit the Makefile to do so but don't always remember. The program offers a range around 20 seconds, which is the basic idea.
