Until then, please, some of us > have already had enough of all this logo business :-/ Well, there are actually quite a lot of people who *do* care about the logo, so allow me to turn your question around: Any deadline after which people that do not care about the logo will stop bugging us that do, and let us discuss the subject without having to deal with *your* crap? If there is a posting about the same subject every week, simple statistics say that there has to be atleast a moderate interest in the subject, or else the postings would not occur. That some people do not find it interesting at all does not justify dropping it. I frequently recieve postings on subjects that do not concern or interests me, but I simply ignore them and move on. This is chat@, after all. I apologize for the somewhat harsh tone, but to be honest, your mail was not exactly polite either. -- R
