I know I shouldn't get into this thread, but really this kind of thing absolutely disgustes me. What if they want an all-white OS would you also consider that? Or a non-queer one perhaps. Oh, they already want that I reckon. "But that's not the same"??? Well, it bloody is to me. It's JUST as dumb. Educate them instead of bending over. I'm sick of the flat earth anti-Darwin basket cases telling us what to do. It's not their realm. They should learn that not everything is their realm. Our world is about tech and that's not NOT about politics and certainly not about superstition, uhm, I mean religion. And I'd like to make a plea to the project to not give in to that in any way. But I fear they already did. And one can argue back and forth but the logo contest *was* partly or perhaps wholly fuelled by that. Don't give me crap. Same with Net (they managed to get a nice logo as their new one, I like it visulually, but any and all symbolism is gone. It looks like a flag). For optimum popularity perhaps ours should have lots of red white and blue but no horns or sneakers. Except if they have a swoosh. Ahh, feels good to get that off my chest. Now you can flame along :) Greetings, Dan
