Well, I don't really think "don't care" equates to "no logo", since it is more of an abstention than anything. And you won't find me trying to be funny in a vote again. So considering there was only 8% saying no, and 65% voting for some version of creating a logo, I felt like the question about whether to do it or not had been settled. Therefore, I moved on to the "how". If there are widespread objections I will reconsider, but it seemed to me that the basic question had been decided. Roy On 10/10/08 10/10/08 € 7:39 AM, "Kevin S.
