OT: T-shirts (WAS Robert Rich article)

[Daryl Shawn <highhorse@mhorse.com>]

Good question. Anyone that's widely-known can sell a t-shirt, regardless 
of genre, but on the smaller-time end where most of us inhabit, I don't 
think so. Myself, I'd feel ridiculous at this point trying to sell a 
shirt with my name on it. Not to say I won't try someday - I like t-shirts.
