Charlie, Amen! While I don't spend most of my money on noble things like children since I don't have them yet, I do have a wife (and yes she takes a lot of my money) and I have hobbies, interests and give money to charity. I don't make $45/hour either, though I wish I did. If I made that much, perhaps I would throw $20 towards Will whether I liked the shirts or not. Maybe I should start taking donations and then people like Dave will feel inclined to throw some of that $45/hour my way.

I say this because...well, I don't particularly care for the shirts either. I'm glad that most of the comments you've received have been positive, and I'm glad there are people who like 'em and are buying 'em. I've never voiced an opinion ('til now) because I never saw a reason to say something that might seem considered derogatory (and again, it's not...it's just a matter of preference). So why say something now? Because Dave, in all of his infinite wisdom and grammatical errors felt it necessary to suggest that we must not be buying Will's shirts because we're "cheap". Well, sorry Dave, but I don't see where you have the right to suggest that of anybody. You don't know how much any of us make, nor do you know our financial situations. Yeah, I do ok...no, I don't make $45/hr. But even though I do OK, I do have a wife and 2 kids and I've been selfish enough to spend my money on stuff like...oh, sending my daughter to camp, or preschool, or taking them different places on the weekends since we don't get to spend as much time together during the week as we'd like to. There's mortgage, car payments, and all of those fun things. But God forbid I don't show my support for the community by not buying a shirt. For you to even suggest that we're all "cheap" and "pathetic" is appreciated by the community as a whole, I'm sure. -- Charlie Griefer ================================================ "...All the world shall be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
