It's just a logo man!!

I'm from México but i kind of familiarized with the pollitical
correctness that some part of the US citizens practice. It is good in a
sense, but sometimes it just goes too far. Your mail looks like if it
was taken out from a joke from a cherokee stand up comedian. It's so
irrelevant compared to the fact that those guys are living in
reservations because the white man invaded thier lands.
If you care that much about the rights of american indians you should be
pleading for the return of the land to their rightfull owners (and since
you'll be doing that you sould plead also for the return of Texas,
California and Nuevo México to México).

Or at least you could donate your efforts to the cherokee nation web
site (cherokee.org) in order to migrate them to a more robust platform
than windows 2003 server with IIS (Linux + Cherokee perhaps?)

Really, you should be doing more interesting things with your time,
instead of whining about how offensive the logo is, you sould design one
that  you consider not offensive and send it to the mailing list. this
is free sowftware ain't it?
