Good. We all should, and hopefully do. However, you don't seem to be bothered by making a statement implying dividing shirts into those with "ponies" (subtext: a "girl" motif) and those that don't. Got it. > Women are people, indeed. While there are certainly times > when it's an important consideration, I don't think a simple logo tee is > one of them. While it's an important consideration to remember that women are people, indeed, you're also right, Nathan, that a logo tee may not be one where we need to make separate shirts. Might be nice, though, but not particularly necessary. Incidentally, I'm just wondering: In light of this and Mark Shuttleworth's arguable gaffes at LinuxCon, is it community policy to dig yourself in deeper after you say something ridiculous, or is the phrase, "Gee, I'm sorry. I seem to have misspoken" forbidden from the community's lexicon? The reason I ask is that, from time to time, I say things I have to take back -- which I do, with apologies if necessary -- so I don't want to be in violation of any policy/policies.
