I can't remember if it's been said, but I'd like to say thanks for your efforts and persistence on this Artificer. You're probably just as busy as the rest of us and I know that this is going to be a time-hungry excercise.

I'd like to suggest an idea to the rest of us looking to buy into this order - given the effort that Artificer is going to, and the fact that he'll be doing the legwork and dealing with the mill, I don't think he should have to fund his own purchase. I would like to know if the others in the buy would be happy to have the cost of Artificer's order divided up and added to our totals as a thank you for his time and effort?
