That is definitely not a Constitutional use of government > resources. You'd best change your discriminatory policy! Yes. Thank God for the way Liz worded her article. If you read the stated purpose, you'll see *guidelines* and *suggestions*. No one need be excluded. And nothing Liz posted indicates that people *will* be. The ground rules are that the issue of Christianity's correctness and uniqueness will not be debated. Does anyone really want, for example, debates about UNIX vs. VMS to be kicked around net.unix and net.unix-wizards? It's the same kind of thing. Different needs and interests lead to different news groups. -- Fred Avolio, DEC -- U{LTR,N}IX Support 301/731-4100 x4227 UUCP: {seismo,decvax}!grendel!avolio ARPA: grendel!avolio@seismo
