It's hard to have a net.religion.jewish that satisfies everyone. It is,
however, fair to say that there should be some common ground among
members of the net. Nobody is imposing on Rosen or anyone else to 
contribute to n.r.j. , but let's have certain ground rules for those
who want to contribute. This net discusses different aspects of Judaism--
orthodoxy vs. conservatism vs. reform vs. reconstructionism vs. humanism ,,,,
,Israel,....etc. It has not, at least until recently, questioned the basic
underpinnings of Judaism itself, nor should it. If someone isn't sure about
what religion he belongs to, or chooses to affiliate with, let him discuss
it outside of this group (in net.religion or elsewhere).
