I would have to disagree with the "outsell everybody".  A while back, a CCC
Poll question asked who would be willing to buy crafty if it was to go
commercial (not a question I suggested as this is not in any plans of mine at
all)?"  The answer was that out of maybe 150 folks, I think 1-2 said yes, the
rest said "no".  Which further convinced me that commercial aspirations were out
of the question, not that they ever were a real option...
