At the risk of sounding like a reject, I must say that I am bothered by the dimensions and file name choice of the bottom picture on this page: _http://www.w3.org/Graphics/PNG/Inline-img.html_ (http://www.w3.org/Graphics/PNG/Inline-img.html) . Yea, yea I know it is only a number. I have been through this many, many times before (*See below). However since some religious people have accepted it as a sign of evil, I would rather not be a part of this fray. It is not my desire to be very bothered by this image's name assignment or the particular events in Revelation. Isn't the W3C concerned about bandwidth costs here? Couldn't that image have been smaller? How about a 3 by 3 by 3 or a 4 by 4 by 4? _This_ (http://www.w3.org/Graphics/PNG/) site was where I first took a major step to investigating this then-new-to-me file type called PNG. PNG has plenty of advantages over some over other picture formats, but I would rather stick with creating other picture formats than to suffer distress from being reminded of the evil in Revelation and the picture's name/dimensions at the bottom of _http://www.w3.org/Graphics/PNG/Inline-img.html_ (http://www.w3.org/Graphics/PNG/Inline-img.html) . ======================================================== NOTES: ========================================================== It is sort like this: If that part of the book of Revelation was never written, would people still have invented or accepted that number as a symbol of evil for use now and possibly in the future? *Long, long time ago, that number was not considered as an evil thing. Neither was it assigned with evil because there was no evil in existence to assign the number with. Would you think that if a person doesn't give Evil an inch of freedom, Evil would not be able to take for a mile the freedom which it does not have? Frankly, such symbol might have been any number or combination of numbers as a symbol of evil. It could have been something totally different.]
