...especially since it sounds like the 
person/persons who made Taro what it was have 
started their own shop.  I expect the new place 
should be even more "Taro" than Taro was!  ;-)

I was a relative newbie back when Taro started 
their sales.  In fact, I perversely congratulate 
myself for inadvertantly causing the sale by 
asking, just weeks prior to the first one, "Do 
sites like Taro ever have sales?"  (To which most 
people replied, "I don't think so.")  Wheeee!

Here is one of my favorite goodies from that first 
sale: flashback from Jubei Chan.
