Jan, we don't have to agree on everything. I will defend your right go
have a different opinion than me or anyone else. Not a problem.

I have to agree that this linking to logos is common sense, however:
Just exactly what is it that the AB thinks that they are going to be
able to
do, AFTER this amendment would be passed? You can't do anything
now, and
you won't be able to do anything if it is passed. Things like this
happen.
The world is not perfect and I don't care what you pass, you aren't
going to
make it so. ISP's do not make people remove logos that don't belong
on some
of their sites that purport to be USGenWeb sites and they won't do
anything
about this. Yep - you can expel them from the project, if they are
a member
and the logo and its link live on. You have fed their negative
attention.
I also very much object to the AB sticking their nose into the states
business. They don't have the right to dictate anything in regards
to the
states logos. Give them an inch and they will take a mile.
I will vote NO on this amendment if it comes to the ballot.
Why doesn't the AB do something constructive rather than feed the
negativity
in this project?
Just MHO, which I know that you do not agree with.
Jan
