       Firstly, I am somewhat puzzled by the sudden change in name from
soc.religion.eastern to talk.religion.eastern over the course of a day.
The original call for soc.religion.eastern was dated 9 Jan 90. The call
for talk.religion.eastern, claiming a lack of response to the first
message, is dated 10 Jan 90. Is one day really enough to consider a
name change? If there are indeed good reasons for the name change,
shouldn't people get a chance to air them first? Lastly, if it is any
consolation, my site received both messages today, 19 Jan 90.

     To address the matter at hand, I would vote against talk.religion.-
eastern as my site does not get the talk. groups.
