Bboy_mn:

Well, I contacted the original poster with a link to a discussion that
took place around Nov 11, 2002 about business in the wizard world.
Since other people are now responding on the subject, I thought I
would refer people back to a precvious discussion. Anyone who was
interested in this subject might want to go back and look at what was
said.

Here is a link to one of my posts, but there were a couple discussions
going on at that time that were related to this. One of them would be
a discussion of how the apparent wizard economy could be used to
estimate the size of the wizard world.

Here is one of the links to the wizard business discussion.
