The proposal was recently put forth that a new subdivision of net.religion be created, net.religion.pagan. I have to object. Wiccans or "neo-pagans" are only one part of what may be termed the "occult movement"; there are many of us with similar interests who do not wish to be called "pagans". It would be like creating net.religion.presbyterian; the term is simply too narrow. I am active on CompuServe's Religion SIG, and recently inveigled the sysop into renaming a little-used section (similar to a USENET subgroup) to "New Age". This kept all of us Thelemites, Wiccans, and such like, happy. Because it worked there, I would have no objection to the creation of a USENET group net.religion.newage. -- Tim Maroney, formerly known as The Censored Hacker Carnegie-Mellon University Computation Center ARPA: Tim.Maroney@CMU-CS-K uucp: Try sending through a gateway such as DECWRL, UCB-VAX, SEISMO, or HARVARD -- mailer conventions differ on syntax

Tim's back!! He's returned from the dead!
Yea, verily, have we all most horribly transgressed against
the Holy Word of Netiquette, yet it was He and He alone who
was begotten to bear the most terrible punishment of net.death
that we might frolic in eternal net.life. And now, Miracle
of Miracles, He is risen!!
Give 'em hell, Tim!

<a gift to the BUG> ... ... ... Tim's point is a good one. I would look forward to a net.religion.newage. Peter Silverman ATT Bell Labs Indian Hill
