Absolutely. And I don't think we should police that (at this time).

I was wrong about my earlier question/comment. In the convention doc, it 
says that *buyers* must be registered for the convention (Scott--because of 
the non-profit thing?).

But here's a quote from 2.7.4.	"Each seller must be a member of the Local 
or the AGA unless the seller donates the proceeds in full to the Convention."

But this rule applies only to the auction--in the convention doc, we do not 
address the question of whether people may sell out of their rooms. And I 
don't think we should, at this time.

Yes. I agree. Are cichlids bigger money than plants? I suspect so. I don't 
really know. So I should siddown and shaddup now. :-)

Perhaps we in the AGA enjoy more of a sense of community than we thought. 
Good. Then I am in the right place.
