Please be courteous to people who ask questions. In this case, I believe a very innocent question. Yes, there've been bad threads on this topic, but let's not get worked up about it. Also remember that we're a "tools, not policy" project. While we're unlikely to change our logo based solely on people bothering us on mailing lists, we're also not interested in seeing people attacked due to any religious (or other, really) belief system. (And the '666' thing is argued to be a reference to Nero(iirc?), who was particularly intolerant of the growing Christian sentiment in the empire. But that's another story, and something best left to others, and in other forums.)
