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).

Despite what 24-hour cable news channels might like to have us 
believe, % self-selected email senders <> % actually holding 
opinions. Asserting that these are valid statistics is nonsense.

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).
