Awesome 90s-style flame war. Does Staffs LUG have a Usenet group where this
could take place more often??
Seriously I miss that stuff.

What the hell Steven? I was giving feedback and you give me snark?
You
want to do that email me privately. Don't use the lug mailing list.
Moving on It's clear you know nothing about logo use because in the case
of redhat it's a registered trademark. Wikipedia or wherever you got it
from may have permission to use it. Go visit their site. Go and read what
they put up there regarding their logo use.
It's clear my being a member of the LUG offends you somehow despite the
fact I generally don't attend the meetings and post very little to the
mailing list. I'll unsubscribe from the mailing list and leave it be.
