What is revolting with having some fun ? Why do you say we prefer work on
style intead of working on content ? And as I remember I dont see you often
on fr:. Google has logo for xmas, do you think they working only on style ?

>I will no longer be working on fr: until this situation is resolved.

When you say that fr prefer work on style, you say that all our work is
crap. I cant agree with you, maybe some pages are stubs, but some are very
nice articles.
