And another thing, Byard... You should sell some sew-on patches and decals with your web addy on them, or give them away with larger orders of goodies, like $10,000 or more. Besides advertising, if something is ever lost, there would be a place to contact. I could sew the vfb patches on my ISE show shirts, and look like one of those walking bill-boards like in the bass tournaments.
