I can't imagine an online store such as yours being worth much to anyone
else (and this is *not* a flame).  If you had established contracts or
agreements (with regularly recurring revenues) then that would be a
different matter.  The DSC section sucks big time.  You list panels that
haven't been available for over a year and don't even mention the one
that you could successfully promote to your "niche" market.

Apology accepted.  FWIW, it really doesn't matter who contributed more,
or less.  The fact that it's been going on for over ten years with
little or no significant change is the thing that's beyond me.  It seems
to me that *you* could have done much more to lessen the animosity and
the nastiness.  "Less that charitable" doesn't even begin to describe
some of the carefully phrased attacks you've made against your many "so
called" detractors here.  But as I stated at the outset, it doesn't
really matter any more, does it?  It's all "water under the bridge".

The individual that perpetrated those particular attacks isn't with us
any more (and hadn't posted for some time prior to his passing).

You've just summed up in those few words the "raison d'etre" for a lot
of folks here.  Pardon my French.
