Hey guys,
Honestly is this top posting that big of a deal ?
I also use gmail and hit reply. I have no idea if it is top or bottom
posting.
so let me know if this is top or bottom.
Maybe what needs to be done is ONE team in ONE area of the country and ONLY
THAT team be responsible for ALL ubuntu artwork. At least unimportant art
unrelated issues will be omitted.
It would save time with no mailing lists required, and no rules of posting
to get in the way of the important stuff, no mailing list attachments etc
etc etc.
What do you guys think?
 I vote that the ONLY art team be located in Pittsburgh , PA  USA.
coz
