I apologized because I am the person in charge of the mailing list and I should comment if there is any misunderstanding. I didn't know that apologizing would be perceived as bias.

Sorry, my bad, I did not quote it properly. I meant Nirvan's reply and reaction towards the feedback received. He sounded rude. I quoted SM as I wanted to point out that anybody who feels concerned about this thread should be comfortable to reply even if they do not have a design background. The purpose of asking MIU subscribers for their opinion was to give them the opportunity to help and to discussed about a logo they feel would reflect the purpose of the Mauritius Internet Users mailing list.

I should not have quoted you. It was a mistake. See above reply.

Yes, I agree.



Kind regards,
