*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR FAVORITE JEWISH MOVEMENT ***

A few of the Jewish netters here have become concerned with the intolerance
to other Jewish movements expressed by a few of the Jewish posters to
net.religion.jewish.  This has been clearly evident in the recent 'frummie
vs. non-frummie' discussion/debate/argument.  

We have come to the conclussion that there are many who subscribe to this
newsgroup who don't participate because they feel they will be attacked for
whatever they believe.  We propose two new newsgroups to replace
net.religion.jewish:  net.religion.jewish.frum and
net.religion.jewish.notfrum.  

These names are just suggestions, but their domains border at the rift
presently forming on net.religion.jewish.  We propose these to
replacement net.religion.jewish, not as additional subsets.  This will
discourage needless crosspostings that would continue the present problem.  

There will be opponents of this who feel it would be better to 'make up'
than to separate, but net dynamics and the anonymity of net 'opponents'
would make any treaty ephemeral.  

I can choose my Jews by choosing my shule.  Why not here?
