- With the introduction of Karma into the USENET (UN) community,
- a distinct cosmology will inevitably evolve. The key
- to the orderly evolution of the UN is the proper
- understanding of Karma and how Karma effects
- one's rebirth status in the UN. A UN Poster will
- have a life cycle of 6 months at which time he
- will be reborn in one of the 10 levels (PLANES) of
- the UN. The level that one achieves for the
- next posting cycle will depend on the merits of
- one's posts. Merit will be determined by the
- karmic score of every post. There well be
- 10 positive and 10 negative types of articles
- These 20 distinct article types must be clearly
- specified. The importance and fruits of karma:
- One's rebirth status will determine the scope
- of one's articles. Devas and Gods will be
- able to read and write postings at any level but
- a newbie's posting will not be able to
- reach the celestial realms.
- Therefore, this RFD requests that
- a committee be formed to address this need.
