[FC-discuss] [OT] new T-shirt.

[rek2GNU/Linux]

About the representation I happen to talk with the guy 1 year a go in 
Boston, he is living in the States now and I and the artist who made the 
t-shirt are long live activist,
and not electronic activist but real live ones and we admire this guy 
and his xtreme believe for freedom.

anyways, we already been selling the white version and we sold more tan 
20 already, people loves it this is why the black one now.


I guess is never people is never going to agree 100% if the glass of 
water is half full or half empty..  I don't expect less.

but thanks for your opinion they are good points but I don't agree.
