In response to this portion of Brian's message:

At least a few of us on the list are not Reform, so I'm not sure that the
list should only present Reform views.  Even if the list were entirely
Reform, many people are interested in the ways that services are conducted
in the other movements, so, such discussions have an educational purpose.
I tend to feel more comfortable when I attend a service from another branch
of Judaism if I know what to expect, so, I appreciate learning about the
distinctions and similarities of services under the different movements.
Of course, it's entirely possible that this really is meant to be a Reform
list, in which case, maybe I stumbled upon it by mistake...?
