[good research follows] Good point, except that the subject matter of the newsgroup under discussion is expressly forbidden in the soc.motss charter. It does NOT belong there, and posters there do not welcome it in that forum. The realms of the other groups you list seem limited: >ba.motss Newsgroup for Bay Area motss'ers. >clari.news.group.gays Homosexuality & Gay Rights. >su.gay Stanford University >uc.motss Issues pertaining to homosexuality at Univ of Calif. Anyway, I can't speak for them, but I seriously doubt any of these groups wants to participate in morals discussions of the sort in question. How would a semitic-oriented group feel about encouraging Nazis to post their opinions there, just to save namespace? ...lori
