Agreed.

Which is why nobody needs to freak out. The world has several good Fox holes. *s*

>With respect to the MVP Program and marketing, Michel is wrong for having the banner on the home page.

I never gave that much thought, but then again, I spend as little time on the login page as possible, and I'm usually cursing that I don't have the option to have it save my password and username. :-(

But, that is the same way I felt about the blue envelopes. It's one thing for each MVP to decide whether to put it in their tagline, but the blue env. tied it too closely to the UT, IMO.

That is a positive change, AFAIAC.
