Re: [libreoffice-marketing] plea to remove in-app advertising from LibreOffice

Since in two weeks no one has objected to using Tip of the Day (and in 
fact, I see that both GetInvolved and Donate have already been included 
as Tips of the Day...) I will go ahead and remove the now redundant 
infobar code. I will ask Heiko to review it.

Thanks,

Justin
