I don't see any problem of having only HP there and I think it is a fitting acknowledgment to their kindness. Trying to get more money from our silver sponsors might work with some but might also backfire with others and I'd rather not risk it (but I'm risk adverse, so other people please share their opinions). I have been wanting to discuss revamping the permanent sponsorship process, which I'll do now in a separate thread. Maybe we can include permanent sponsors in the rotation but I'd definitely leave HP in a spotlight position with respect to the backdrops. Thanks a lot Jimmy for bringing this up! P.
