[Threshold]

*sigh*

Please actually read my post. Third party sales are relevant to a different sub-point: the one about achieving a "more fair" gaming environment. I actually said that explicitly. Did you just skim or something?

Souvenirs are not related? A miniature version of that big dinosaur you just looked at, that allows you to remember the experience for years to come, is not related? Wow. I actually feel kinda bad for someone when their argument has come crumbling down so badly that they are reduced to making statements like that. It has to be very uncomfortable to actually try to argue that souvenirs from a museum are unrelated to that museum. That is just... wow.

They also sell guided tours, behind the scenes tours, and all sorts of additional access. But people still consider the Smithsonian to be free, and arguing otherwise is just foolishness.

Honestly, folks in your camp are going to keep coming up empty because the convoluted way you are twisting the word free simply doesn't jibe with common sense or common usage of the word.
