[Dragaera] question about Adrilankha Gift Shop

[Elizabeth Dalton]

Thanks for the link to the AGS from Cracks and Shards. I'm sorry I 
didn't get back to you about a graphic. I've been working on an image 
based on descriptions of Noish-pa's house/shop using some examples of 
Hungarian peasant architecture, but haven't gotten the image into a 
state worth sharing yet. :(

Regarding the link to Steel Dragon, I'm confused -- do you think I 
should take down that link? Is there any concern that Steel Dragon 
doesn't have a right to sell Cats Laughing CDs, or what? As far as I can 
tell, the CDs are actually for sale. I could link directly to the Cats 
Laughing page from AGS, but I'm not sure what else you're asking me to 
do. I don't have any input or control regarding the Steel Dragon page.

And the last link goes to a page that also says "this shop closed over trademark dispute". Another click from there finally gets you to a page that says [2]:
> MusicCats LaughingFlash GirlsWar for the Oaks: Choose your side!this shop closed over trademark dispute:ECSA, Inc. has trademarked "Electoral College"The first time I followed the link I'd gotten from here, I thought, "Wait a minute! Is this store closed or not? If they're closed, why are they still showing the CDs? And if not, why does it say "this shop closed over trademark dispute"? It takes entirely too long to figure it out. Can whoever runs "Steel Dragon" please change the pages to make it very clear that Steel Dragon is still in the business of selling music and WftO swag, and only the E.C. stuff is closed down? Maybe change that pane [1] to something like
