My neighbor doesn't live in *my* house, but if he did, I think he had the
right to decide things too.

Another example: Why are the people of America the ones to choose the
president? Why don't you leave the choice to the politicians, who are the
professionals? After all, is it about finding a winner, or is it about
finding an excellent president?

(That was NOT my opinion, it was the opposite!)

People have different opinions of which criterias the logo should match.
I don't want to be some kind of judge, so the only criteria I have made is
that the logo should be the best logo for POV-Ray.

I don't agree, and I don't think we can come to an agreement because our
basic points of view are so different.
