Another general comment: I know that we're not in a hurry to
choose the flag, but I said what I said because I've gotten the
impression from those not involved in the flag discussion that
the flag discussion is becoming a bother to other conlang members.
I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that some at least
some people felt that way.

They work for the links that you posted in your original message, but now 
that
those links have been put up on the site, I can't see them any longer.   
You'll have
to send the originals to Adrian, but is there any way you can covert them to 
.png
format first?   I think he'd be happier with them that way.

Interesting point.   What's even more interesting is that the *original* 
tower (i.e.,
Jan's flag with the star and the tower) looks clearly unfinished to me.   It 
was only
in later adaptations that the tower was, shall we say, completed.

.php page that will display the flags (and a short title for each) in
random order, so that the order they appear in is randomised every
time you refresh your browser?>>

Maybe when it comes time for voting.   Speaking of which, how   will
voting work?   Will we e-mail one person, or will we set up a website?
Just curious.
