I wouldn't be responding to this email if I didn't, now would I?

Yes

Legitimate items from an established dealer in Medieval garb and equipment.

I've done it.

So you can buy advertisements in them?

Not especially.

> 8.      How many medieval events do you attend each year?   ________

Average of 24.

> 9.      How often do you purchase medieval clothing (# of times per year)?
>   ________

Rarely. I have too many good tailor friends who will do it either because of
friendship, barter or because they like sharing their gift with others.

> 10.     How much do you spend on medieval clothing each year?   ________

I spend a lot on materials for my tailor friends to make me garb. I think I
purchased
some gloves last year.

> 11.  Have you ever heard of or visited Sofi's Stitches (Y/N)?
> ________

Nope. And now I probably won't.
Sorry, I understand this is probably a real survey to determine what kind of
marketing scheme you wish to pursue as well as build up a client list of
people
to email advertisements to. If you had come out and said so you probably have
gotten much better response but the SCA's BS meter is well tuned and we don't
like deceitful practices.
