If we spontaneously create artwork by ourselves without discussing it's necessity chances are efforts will be wasted and some people will become discontent with the response. So please keep the above mentioned points in mind and enjoy the weekend. Thanks everyone, Pascal
Again, I've said the same, we're just expressing views. Maybe that's how we enjoy our weekend. If ignoring the mailing list is what you want to do....enjoy.
