Hello Charles and Steve!
I am still trying to answer Charles' long message...

Am I correct, Charles, in assuming that you want the white palms of  
the ISWA 2008, so that the symbols themselves, when they are white  
palms, will not be transparent? That will be available in January  
with the release of the ISWA 2008.

So Steve - I believe it is a matter of terminology...when we say  
"background" that is a term having to do with the color paper behind  
the sign...but the symbols themselves will be what Charles is  
requesting, when we release the ISWA 2008...

I am sorry to tell you that i need to send out your T-Shirts now, and  
other mail orders...

So I hope to send you your T-Shirt today, Charles!

Thank you for your input...

And have a terrific day!

Val ;-)
