[IMC-NYC-Editorial] Re: [IMC-NYC-Tech] font size

[Chris Anderson]

patrick, would you be ok with putting back the
original appeal version with the references to the
server removed and possibly the font reformatting done
to the way you'd like? for example, i still think that
the imc could use donations to help pay for rent, etc,
that would be good to fundraise for-- and what I hear
arun saying is that it might be a good idea to keep
website appeals to the website and paper appeals to
the paper. does that make any sense? are there other
things i'm missing?
