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.
