I didn't speak about submit whatever people want, but just propose
alternative logo based on elected concept.

I don't specially like to be treat as lier especially when I'm not ;o)
When the vote begun, the rules of the second round didn't allowed variants.
This (good) rule was add by you the 6th of september at 12:55 (to be
precise).

Imho, 4 variants is verry few, but perhaps no much varants may be produce
until the deadline so it's not a problem.

Sure I had better to work hard on logo variants instead of speaking in the
wind :o)
But I didn't wanted to work on something I may be unable to submit, so I
waited to much...
In fact, Olie kindly released my idea that I will put on my own page over
the logo :op

Paullus seem open to alternative idea. It's nice.
Hope to see 5 variants of his logo.
