Summary: 

Bob, regarding your contrast between net.religion and
net.religion.jewish:

I once read net.religion for a long time.  There is an important
difference between it and net.religion.jewish -- the subgroup is much
more lowkey and relaxed.  There is less flaming, and when we hit a
point of contention, we don't usually beat it to death, but rather
present different points of view and go on.

I think we make it relatively easy for newcomers to ask questions or
make statements without being fried to death.  We also make it easier
for readers to go through the articles to find new information.

I think it is good for net.religion to have Jewish readers, and
good for net.religion.jewish to have non-Jewish readers.
I'm sure you will have no problem contributing your points of view
if you aim for the typical, non-Martillo-style of letter that makes
up the majority of the contributions.
