I've started another thread that I hope will give us an idea of how many of us are merchants.
If you've been following this thread, because you are a seller (of supplies, services, or finished goods), please "stand up and be counted" here:

Hopefully this informal "census" will give us an idea of the amount of work involved in creating a list of members who sell (so that we can support our own community).
