Thus the suggestion that folks pursue it in a forum where PR might actually be germane, and in a way that might actually bear results. Continual barking on questions@ about how upset folks are has got to be among the very least effective ways of seeking change (other than changes to killfiles). > Based on responses I'd estimate about 60% of FBSD users didn't want > the logo changed before the contest. > > Based on responses post-contest results, I think about 90% of users hate > the new logo.

Like many folks who really don't care about the logo all that much one way or the other, I simply won't be reading or posting on this subject any more (making any future post counts that much less valid as statistics). -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) <gregb at scls.lib.wi.us>, (608) 266-6348
