Like I told ya when I asked ya, back in the day. Snerk! Really, not.one.sale. I've cleared exactly $10, mostly from seling to myself... That said, if ya want that stuff to come down, it can, it's still your property to license, revocable at any time. And if you have ideas on things to make - send 'em along. We can use my store, or you can start you own (it's not hard, just tedious). http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/how_can_you_not_want.html#comment-38071 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/how_can_you_not_want.html#comment-38071 Mon, 09 Jan 2006 21:24:22 -0600 ahem, John. uh... we need to talk.
