Well, I could do something like Cafe Press. And I've thought about it a few times. But that would raise some issues I don't really want to deal w/ if I can help it.
First, say the shirts (mugs, mouse pads, thongs, etc) are wildly popular and the cash starts pouring in. Where do I put it? Can I keep it and call it an offset to the time and money that's already gone into the forum? Should I hand it all over to some worthy organization? Would that create jealousy? Is there anything I could do that wouldn't piss somebody off? Probably not.
More than likely, though, only a few shirts would sell. I actually did set up a cafe press page w/, I think, Leslie's design on one side and "Have you seen Jerry Vancil" on the other. Nobody bought any. And Leslie had a few designs up on a stand alone page. I think she sold two that way. Doubt she even broke even. I lost a little, as one of those two orders had an error, which was my fault, so I ate it.
So, here's my thinking on it now. If anybody wants to get into the tshirt business, feel free to advertise anything relavent (just don't push it to the point of annoying reasonable people) And, if you turn a buck and
want to toss a buck or two my way, far be it from me to object. But I'd just as soon leave it alone for now.
Talk about it and let the truth find its own way.
