I hope I haven't offended you Andreas - as I'm sure you guessed, that
wasn't my intention.

Yes! I love beautifully designed t-shirts. Think of all those t-shirts
that get copied over & over, like Che Guevarra or Obama & "Change", or
the Vitruvian Man, or the evolution of man... I would love to have a
GNOME t-shirt that were so original & cool that we started seeing
unauthorised hacked copies of it popping up.

Cheers,
Dave.
