In point of fact, the "logo" idea started right here when a right-wing Christian fundamentalist complain that people at his church were worried about Beastie on their computers. (I have that archived in case you are inclined to try to deny it.)

When you start caving to such people, there is no stopping. -- Lars Eighner eighner@io.com http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266
