The implication of this is that you have included the soc.culture.jewish FAQ
and Reading Lists in your collection. I am the maintainer of the s.c.j FAQ and
Reading Lists, and I do not recall granting permission for them to be
published in your CD ROM. Could you please clarify my memory about where you
obtained the FAQ/RL from, and who gave you permission to publish it?

Please note: My concern is not that they were included (although I can only
personnally grant permission with respect to the reading list; I'd have to go
to the s.c.j FAQ committee for the FAQ); rather, that I don't recall ever
being asked or responding if I was.
