Thanks!

I pretty much agree with your idea.

The only shortcoming is, that some companies insists on more PR for them.

I'm personnally more and more convinced, that we should rather turn a
sponsor down than being abused for their own PR. This will loose us some
donations, but I'm more than willing to accept this.

It also avoids all the trouble of the right wording and size of boxes on
printed material right from the beginning. It's a trade-off. Do we want
donations under any circumstances or do we want donors to accept our strict
rules?

Thanks,
Marc
