Ah.  This is really important to find out.  I was assuming the discounts
applied only to multiples of the same .fpd file.  If it is just a total
panel discount, then the standards becomes much less of an issue.  (Geez, I
just ordered 4 panels, no discount.)

We'll have other details to work out for batch orders.  Have you all done
any yet?  How will the payment and shipping details be handled?  I have done
group buys on a motorcycle list before.  That is usually by one person
taking all the orders and payments and doing the shipping back to
individuals.  Seems like a burden.  Maybe we could offer a free panel to the
volunteer.
