If you're making donations to a charitable organization and say so up
front, in theory I'd be happy to pay an extra $1-3 per shirt to help
that out.
In practice, I'm not buying any shirts this month except maybe from
Special Addition on North Lamar in Austin. :) But there's always next
month and the month after....
As for the charity, off the top of my head, maybe the World Wildlife
Fund would be good.

I determined earlier today that griping is not the optimal way to
achieve the results you want. If I am ever of the opinion that you are
spamming the list, I'll let you know in a direct, matter-of-fact way,
doing my best to keep the tone "not-griping". :)

an apology wins a lot more points than a confrontation, and makes the
person who yelled at you look foolish (and then drives you to do
interesting things to avoid that particular situation less than an hour
later)
