Why Sour? (Re[2]: SC - Sourdough (getting further and further)

[Nick Sasso]

Milady,

     When we spoke of now being able to purchase - it was not to disparage
the products of the merchants, it was to point out that we used to barter
craft for craft, such as your cooking for our wine, or a piece of
embroidered trim for a dagger, etc..  

                                     Jon
