Paul,
To fill you in on your question about formall BA Auctions, (Int'l Art Galleries) being on P&O Australia still, the story is the art auction program has been seized due to back log of customer fullfillment issues along with weak sales AD's that do not always match with the enviroment in the aussie market. The Pompano Beach office has closed and moved to a smaller office only and many employess of the Florida location have been laid off. Company is still operating as of now on Celebrity ships only and hopefully International Art Galleries will move forward in these difficult times. I am a formal auction manager from BA Auctions I had resigned end of June this year after returning from the Sydney location. I have no malice against Ira Shore or the Company, but do not feel they have heading into the right direction and unfortunately I not so sure the have the best interest of the employees in mind with the new way.

Regards,
Teo
