Fred, I see at least two indications in Liz's statements that people *will* be excluded: Liz Allen: 1> The purpose of the list is to provide a non-hostile 1> environment for discussion among Christians... If the stated purpose is to provide an environment for discussion AMONG CHRISTIANS, then exclusion *is* certainly implied. Liz Allen: 2> For any Christians out there who would like to join the list, send 2> mail to seismo!umcp-cs!mailjc-request and I'll add you. Where do non-Christians who would like to join the list send mail? That information *was* excluded, wasn't it? Steve Nelson zehntel!zinfandel!steve
