I agree, I guess I was insensitive to the touchy topic.  I was being
sarcastic, because I can't imagine anyone in this group ever doing
it.  I was really making the point (badly) that some idiot with a modem
and a browser from south dakoda could go to wplug.org, see that you could
post images, and start uploading random images.  I think that this thing
should automatically add your submission, but we should keep an eye on
it.

As I said before, I'm sorry if anyone was disturbed by my post.

Actually, one member already has been banned from campus (for different
reasons, of course).  CMU has graciously let us use their space, so I am
not unaware of the concequences of our information.  With the new security
system, we might not even be able to use CMU for much longer.

I think that this topic is dead.  Lets start working on the logo
submission form.
