Bill:

Thanks for weighing in, but I'm afraid this isn't open for discussion.  The
List sticker was chosen by popular vote, and that will be the one produced.

We *may* produce a copy of Debi's sticker as a fun "add-on" but if you want
to be a card-carrying member of the list, then you'll need to sport the
"official" sticker.  However, I think you have raised some good points, and
I think they should be addressed as we go through the final design process
prior to production.

Also, please post any further discussion on the thread to the forum at:

We don't won't to hash out the details of this stuff on the List.

PS - my favorite choice didn't win either, FWIW

Brent
