Awesome, thanks for doing a thing rather than not doing it.

It would be great, though, to have done any of
1. left a note
2. told anyone (I asked at least a dozen people who are regularly in the
   space if they knew what'd happened, nobody seemed to have any idea)
3. sent an email to the list
4. said anything on IRC
5. left the flag in a findable place (apparently it was in a box, on an
   out of the way shelf, with a bunch of other stuff)

I don't care *what* kind of communication you choose, just choose *one*
of them. :)

Interesting perspective, I have a different perspective on the symbolism
but I can see where you're coming from.  And yeah, it was too visually
dominant in its original position.

Anyways, thanks again for do-ocracy and for syncing up here.
