Dear Ceci,

Thank you for your... uhm... lovely reply :)

Please note that this day and the other FSFE activities would not have
been possible without the excellent help by our volunteer and
supporters. So if you would like to support the next ILoveFS day and
other campaigns, please consider joining us as a supporter:

Thank you, and have a great day!

Best,
Max
