Chuq, in defense of Jeff Sargent's suggestion after Wombat objection:

Chuq, I think that the objection that some of us have to Jeff's article is
that it seemed like a very thinly veiled attempt to bring religion into the
discussions in net.singles.  I'd rather not have us start getting into
flames and counter-flames about the utility of religion - it may be a
pervasive part of Jeff's life, but not mine.  There are some forums other
than net.religion where religion enters, such as net.origins - but if we
get net.religion.singles, we can proceed to
	net.religion.physics	(religious cosmology)
	net.religion.politics
	net.religion.misc
and on with med, audio (you understand if you subscribe!), and so on.
