Actually, it doesn't matter to me personally either. I was merely attempting to be
sensitive to the needs of people that I would imagine are actually out there. I would

about making a profit, it's just about having something that not everybody else can go
out and get themselves. I don't know any other AFOL personally, though, so I could be
wrong.
