Hi Nirvan, first of all:
1. We believe we are making fair use of that logo to represent Mauritius
as it is a national emblem, if you own that image and believe we are not
making fair usage of that picture, we will respectfully cease from using
it, but you are a stupid annoyance trying to use work of others to be a
nuissance to others.
2. Secondly i know you do lack maturity, or maybe you have a short weeny
complex, but such matters are usually discussed private emails, but hey i
almost forgot professionalism isnt really your trait, i wonder if clients
are not worried that you start publishing their private stuffs on public
lists.
3. Is there something that you didnot understand last time when we had a
meeting on skype after you acted like a kid and shared my facebook page
here in an attempt to gain some sympathy? I simply do not want to be on
the mailing list, you jave to contact me privately. I know that you are
not very bright, i can understand that, but i do not have time for your
childishness all the time, i know it is christmas and you want gifts etc,
but am not your daddy.
4. For christ sake, i will take down that logo if the author tells me to,
dont act as if you own it, but you dont. Infact if you know the author of
the logo i would like to have a chit chat with him or her.
5. Merry Christmas.
Shelly :) by the rules of this mailing list is Nirvan allowed to spam
people who havent registerred in this mailing list by unwanted mails that
also with an entire list cc'd.
Ps. Nirvan you seem very annpyed and frustrated by hackers.mu lately, do
you want to skype me and talk about it if something is worrying about
hackers.mu instead of pouring cries infront of everyone in a mailing list?
Pps. As for the gimped logo quality, just compare it to your error 5xx
website when it got ddosed and you lied that it was being migrated :). Or
atleast thats what i felt when u explained.
Ppps. Logan will reply you in further details.
