Hi Ruth No problems. Just trying to stimulate other ways of thinking about things, in case there's a good reason for not changing anything, or for changing things in new and different ways. I personally was happy with the old way, and am just as happy with the new way.
Not having a preference makes me more likely to argue in favour of the side no one else is supporting. ;-) Cheers, Anne. 2009/9/8 Ruth Hoffman <[email protected]>: > Hi Anne: > I appreciate your comments. > > In my experience, the store logo almost always remains the same.
