Have you been saved by Grex's webpage? ;)
I really don't think something that vaguely looks like a cross is worth
getting worked up over. For that matter, I'm not sure what the problem with
real Christian symbols is. I dislike it when people are trying to convert
me, but most Christians I know are happy to have their beliefs and let me have
mine, and would be justifiably offended if somebody tells them they shouldn't
believe what they do.

I don't see anything sinister or sneaky about the "cross" on the Web page,
and I'm pretty sensitive to that sort of thing too. Must we ban all cruciform
shapes from our publishing?

(Good luck trying to get any writing done without the letters
T or X...)

This is a Christian site, isn't it? I got introduced to the priesthood
through Grex (Universal Life Church), by you, Valerie. I've not only
saved a lot here, but the staff has ensured that salvation through the
use of backups. I've seen discussions about the advantages of the new
holy language, C cross cross (C++). I am confident the staff has done a
lot of praying, especially while trying to bring up the new system --
and those prayers were answered.

Somehow I can't see many members of the staff praying...but that might be my
own personal bias.

Are we talking about http://www.cyberspace.org/ now? I don't see a cross
there.
The "Becoming a Member" link does not mention Institutional memberships. I'd
even lean toward a separate link called, perhaps, "Club memberships".

The red block across the page, and the blue one on the side, might look
vaguely like a cross if you're looking for a cross. I wouldn't expect
many people to read this home page as a Christian symbol.

...or a Star of David, either? I think we are plenty neutral here, which is
all I ask.
(on a humorous drift, don't the pink and blue colors seem to indicate an
obsession with children? ;)

Funny, I thought all the words on the main page indicated that Grex
is a great big dictionary.

Forget all the symbolism. I like it. Simple and quick to load, yet lots
of links, leaving me with an impression of an active, diverse community
gathering place, which I believe is an accurate description of our
mission.
I haven't been following this discussion very closely... Did anybody
else notice the vague resemblance to a swastika in janc's original
proposal? Or am I stirring up another pot by mentioning it after the
fact? ;-)

Dang, dang, dang. (No, not you Dan.) I carefully implant subliminal
messages into the web page designs and then you guys have to go
*talking* about them. Stop it! You'll ruin the whole thing! Of course
the religious undertones are deliberate. Have you seen the way people
donate money to churches? I want people to be thinking of their Grex
membership as their own bargain priced road to personal salvation. In
the future all Grex staffers will be ordained instead of appointed. Now
please go back to being a good flock of sheep and STOP NOTICING THESE
THINGS!

I added more text to the governance subpage of the home page
(http://www.grex.org/local/grex/cyber.html)
and also cleaned up the pages that points to, mostly just updating.
