(I'm reposting this since I got the header title wrong 3 or 4
days ago" "email echo," etc...

[I don't usually follow these discussion groups, so please
  emailed responses to fglaysher@hotmail.com  Since many
  of the 157 YES votes for talk.religion.bahai do not have
  direct news reading capabilities for alt.* hierarchies, we 
  would appreciate setting up an email echo or listserv for 
  alt.religion.bahai so that the maximum number of people may 
  participate in discussion, if they so desire.

  Because there were 691 NO votes, largely for ideological,
  religious reasons, I and many others believe fundamental
  issues of free speech and religious freedom of conscience
  are involved and would very much appreciate help in making
  the best of a bad situation.

  Would someone, or institution, kindly sponsor this listserv?]

    The vote for the unmoderated group talk.religion.bahai has just
    failed 157:691

    But given that there were 157 Yes votes I believe there is sufficient
    interest for an alt.* group.

    For your newsgroups file:
    alt.religion.bahai      Bahai faith.

    [Adapted from the talk.religion.bahai proposal]

    RATIONALE: alt.religion.bahai

    All newsgroups and listservs given to the discussion of the Bahai
    faith are moderated.  A need exists for an unmoderated forum, and this
    proposed newsgroup would meet that need.

    It is intended that alt.religion.bahai will complement, rather
    than supplant, the existing moderated group soc.religion.bahai.  The
    establishment of unmoderated companion groups is a well-accepted
    practice on Usenet.  

    CHARTER: alt.religion.bahai

    All topics or ideas relevant to the Bahai faith -- its history,
    teachings, theology -- and so on would be appropriate areas for
    discussion.

    Crossposting of articles not specifically relevant to the Bahai faith
    is strongly discouraged. Also discouraged are personal messages, large
    ASCII graphics, special-format files, and any postings of a purely
    commercial nature.

    Readers are asked not to start or prolong flamewars and excessive
    crossposts.  Articles may be crossposted to soc.religion.bahai --
    subject, of course, to the approval of the moderator of that group.

    Readers may also post articles that have been rejected from
    soc.religion.bahai, so long as they conform to the charter above.
