He *says* that readers should "be careful to consider what [he has] actually written." But earlier he gives these "syllogisms": > Given the premises > 1. Christians don't want a subnet > 2. Evelyn is a Christian > is it then logical to conclude that Evelyn does not want a subnet? > No. and > Given the premises > 1. Christians don't want a subnet > 2. Evelyn wants a subnet > is it then logical to conclude that Evelyn is not a Christian? > No. Nice try, but Yiri seems to be saying/assuming/implying: 1) Evelyn is a Christian 2) Evelyn wants a subnet (If he isn't, what's the point of these examples?) First of all, I want a subgroup, not a subnet. A subgroup is part of the whole; a subnet is separate. And let me add my voice to the statement: THERE IS NO JEWISH NET! There is a net.religion.jewish subgroup. Second, I don't want a subgroup because I'm Christian; I want it because I'm *not*. If Yiri had read my other postings (re Chinese Jews et al) he would realize this. Evelyn C. Leeper ...ihnp4!hocsj!ecl
