so a serious question then:

If someone came to EF with a product that was a little different, but could be considered a competing product with another sponsor's product, would you consider allowing that person/company to be a sponsor as well?

Not going to reopen the thread, but your answer is "Hell, yeah!"

Why does Procter & Gamble make six different brands of laundry detergent?

If no one likes your product enough to copy it, the perception is that it's not a very good product. When customers see a choice, that increases their interest in the original product.

If you're serious about starting up a line, drop a PM on Big Rick Rock.

Ditto.

Competition is not a real problem.

Being scared that if your customers have options you will lose them. That sort of thinking is a real problem that will make you do problematic things.
