I assume that most of USENET's Jewish readership is American and
of Ashkenazi lineage.  That's what I meant by "mainstream".  If
I'm wrong, or even a sizable percentage are non-Ashkenazi, please
enlighten me.

Martillo has many pearls of wisdom, indeed.  And his perspective
is usually refreshing.  But the Ashkenazim==leftist vusvus scum
we can all do without.  If you are Askenazi, Joe, have you no
pride in your family?  I do--and leftist they were, and are--and
I'm proud of them.  So I have to wonder, when Martillo says these
horrible things--*WHAT'S THE POINT?*  I should not be proud of
my family?  What does he propose I do--sit shiva for them?  Maybe
I should give him all my worldly possessions to atone for their
alleged crimes?  Martillo of all people should know that it is
as misguided as it is dangerous to try to make people ashamed of who
they are.
