|	talk.*, distribute only about 30% of rec.*, and distribute only
|	soc.culture.jewish and soc.women.  We distribute soc.culture.jewish
|	because we feed it to a non-profit organization, and we distribute
|	soc.women based upon a specific request.

Larry, and others who decide which newsgroups to carry, 
I would like to urge you to take a look at alt.recovery and consider
making an exception for that group.  You may have many readers who
would benefit who would not necessarily be willing to speak up and
request it.

And now back to the flamefest!  :-)
