As a follower of the Russian Orthodox relgion myself, I have never had a personal problem with the mascot. Even The Reverend Father who one day saw me wearing a FreeBSD teeshirt was accepting of it. Granted I had to explain to him frist that it was a mascot for my favorite OS. But after that, he said since it is nothing that not against god, as would be a carton devil in a comic in the sunday paper, that there is nothing harmful in me wearing such a shirt.(not that it being harmful either way would of changed my mind in wearing the shirt or not :) ). -- Robert Skinner http://robertskinner.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
