Just as Chris pointed out, there could be some trouble with 
profit-and-copyright. But that's not my greatest concern.

As a matter of fact, I see the T-shirt as an exclusive proof of membership
of r.m.g and Love-Hounds. I previously thought of bying one for my girlfriend
but has now changed my mind. I am a Love-Hound, not she. And I don't like the
idea of walking up to someone wearing that T-shirt and start a conversation
only to find out that he/she does not know what internet is all about.

I too agree with Fiona and Chris that we should by from this other person.
If it gets available, I may place an order.
