Summary: n.r.j preceded n.r.c

For the record, that is not what happened. At the time I proposed
(on behalf of a large number of interested people) that this
newsgroup be created, there were no subgroups under net.religion.

Rich, maybe YOU are against the "isolationism" of n.r.j.
If you're primarily interested in discussing religion in
general, go right ahead in net.religion. I, and many other
Jews on this network, are NOT interested in other religions.
We have a certain basic set of beliefs, and are interested
in discussing Judaism.  I unsubscribed to net.religion long ago.

If you are interested in legitimate discussion about Judaism, this
is the place for it. If you are interested in general discussion
about the validity of religion, it does not belong in this newsgroup.
Your postings about Judaism do belong here, but at the same time
observant Jews should be free to post articles which
make basic assumptions about the validity of Torah without being
attacked for those assumptions.
