I didn't think we were supposed to discriminate on the basis of gender?
It wasn't that I was just picturing myself in a thong and decided that the resulting image would have me twitchy for the rest of the day. Not knowing any of the development team - I could not imagine what they would look like, but if they are typical *nix developers/web devs, then the gamut of body types in thongs is equally disturbing to the mind's eye. No discrimination intended :) Hence the qualified maybe :)

Hey cross-marketing is a wonderful thing. maybe you can do for fashion what you've done for collaborative tools :)
There is a possibility for a wonderful visual - wrt thongs, computer programmers and collaboration. I leave it to your own experience to paint the picture (I've always considered the colors associated with the numbers in a "paint-by-numbers" kit, to be suggestions only, thinking if perfectly normal or at least acceptable that the Elvis on crushed, black velvet should be magenta or even lime green).
So thongs are still in.
