Hi.  The article which follows received approval if modified. Can anyone
help me with getting it autoposted---just the article itself (below),
not including this first part.

>    You have our approval for this posting (or set of postings) and
>may start posting when you wish.
>Once you have made these changes to your posting, you may consider it
>to be approved.  You do not need to resubmit it.

==============REQUESTED CHANGES=====================================

The changes requested were as follows:

>First, the Subject needs to be both expanded and shortened so that it's
>clear to readers who don't know what ARS means and to those whose
>newsreaders truncate Subject lines.  For the moment, I suggest (and
>have approved)
>              Subject: (**NEWBIES**) Scientology Jargon Dictionary
Done.

>Also, in order that your posting be stored with other similar
>information, please use the name
>                                Archive-name: scientology/jargon
Done.

>Finally, I notice that we already have a posting entitled
>"a.r.scientology Acronym/Terminology FAQ" in our records, sent by
>Martin Hunt <[e-mail]>.  Is this an entirely separate
>posting?
          They are complementary---his version is very large and
comprehensive, this is much shorter and intended for newcomers.

          FAQ (**NEWBIES**)  ARS Jargon Dictionary.
          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<a href="http://www.xemu.demon.co.uk/clam/dict2.html">online version</a>

INTRODUCTION.

The Scientology "religion" has its own complex internal jargon, which it
is often necessary to use in discussing their beliefs and evil policies.
You'll probably need to tackle this before you can understand a lot of
the discussion on alt.religion.scientology.

This dictionary gives (mostly) one line definitions of few enough terms
to be comprehensible in a single reading without too much tedium. A
slightlybetter version is at http://www.xemu.demon.co.uk/clam/dict.html
and a comprehensive one   at http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/~av282/terms.htm

Neither of these can cover every last acronym for jobs and divisions, of
course, nor substitute for eventually reading up  fuller explanations of
some of the subjects discussed.  Here is the dictionary:
