You're absolutely right, Rich.  Different newsgroups for people with
different interests and approaches is just segregation.  Therefore, I have
sent out rmgroup messages for net.lang.c, net.lang.pascal, net.lang.mod2,
and all the other net.lang subgroups.  From now on, all discussions of all
different programmiing languages will go in net.lang.  And all discussion of
all religions, including Judaism, will go in net.religion.

(Darn, inews won't let me do that....)

The lesson of net.religion.jewish is that discussion between people of the
same religion is of a very different sort from inter-faith discussion.  Both
are extremely valuable, but they tend to interfere with each other if they
are forced to happen in the same room.  There was almost no discussion of
Judaism except by Christians before the creation of net.religion.jewish; now
there is a lot.  I would say the message is pretty clear.
