{} With respect to the recent suggestions about a new Jewish culture newsgroup, I think you're making a mistake to believe that a name modification will exclude postings from those whose attitudes you find offensive. If you have something to say about the topics you listed, post it. The trick really is to get a couple of other people posting on your topic. Then you have a discusion. Other newsgroups have multiple discussions being carried out concurrently; we can, too. Some people can be discussing the fine points of this week's parsheh while others can be discussing, I don't know, whether or not they should attend the wedding ceremony of a cousin who is marrying a non-Jew in a church, while a third group can argue about the value of Yiddish literature, and so on. It would certainly be a welcome change from the last month or two of postings. Susan Slusky mhuxn!segs --
