I've wanted to do something along these lines for a while now but
I never really got around to doing anything about it.
I don't know if any of you know of it, but there's a "virtual" motorcycle
club in rec.motorcycles called the Denizens of Doom. Every now and again,
a member will see if anyone is interested in DoD patches, pins, decals,
license plate frames, etc. If the response is enough, they'll run a batch
and sell 'em for a little more than their expenses. The extra money is
donated to the AMA Motorcycle Museum.
I was thinking that it would be cool to do something similar with
the DML... For example, maybe someone wants to do DML T-shirts; and they
find out they can get them printed for $7 each. (Just guessing here)
You might tack on $1 for shipping, another dollar or two for the DML and
sell 'em for $9-$10. If you sold 20, that'd be another 2-4 months of life
for the list. :-)
Only problem is, it would be nice to have a list logo to put on this
stuff. :-) However, once you've got a logo, its not like you can change
it every week, so its gotta be good. :-) (Unfortunately, I'm not too
good at thinking up logos.) :-)
