Below is the beginning of a message from Andrew Milne, the original subject 
was: Posting for "Mark".


   "From: milne@crl.com (Andrew Milne)
    Subject: Posting for "Mark"
    Date: 9 Sep 1995 16:45:44 -0700


            Today at the Church of Scientology in DC one of our
      staff spoke to an individual named Mark, who said he did not
      know that other religions than Scientology maintained
      confidential scriptures and asked that information on this
      be posted.  In fact, there is a wealth of material covering
      this practice in other religions.  Below is an extract from a
      letter written by a number of religious scholars and others
      containing some data on this point:

....



            What is worse probably, is insensitivity towards the
      Church of Scientology's religious beliefs, which are also
      protected rights under the First Amendment.  For centuries
      and still in the present, many religions have been faced by a
      dual need to disseminate their beliefs as widely as possible
      without losing confidential central tenets of their faith and
      practices through misappropriation, misduplication and
      misunderstanding.  Thus, as the Court of Appeals for the
      District of Columbia found in a 1986 case involving the First
      Church of Christ, Scientist, at least thirty editions and
      translations of the Bible are validly copyrighted and
      protected against unauthorized publication.

Question: isn't "misduplication" a Scientology term?  And if so, doesn't 
that mean that the above "extract from a letter written by a number of 
religious scholars" was actually written by a Scientologist?

Someone please verify whether or not "Misduplication" is a scieno term.  
It's not in my dictionary, but I've lost my scientology dictionary and 
can't check it.
