I do not recall ever seeing such a message.  And I have been subscribed
to this list, effectively, since the dawn of time. :)

I live in western Michigan [United States] which has a lot of this
category of people, religious paramilitary groups, etc..  And I used to
present on Open Source all the time at various meetings.  Funny thing
is that the name "Evolution" never came up as something other than a
joke. 

I for a long time anticipated someone freaking out about the name, but
it never happened.  Not even when it had the Ximian splash window with
the little monkey.  [anyone here remember "red-carpet"?]

Either by self-selected-demographic of who attends geekish meetings or
just obvious common sense it just isn't 'a thing'.
