<DIV><BR>From: R' Micha Berger<BR><BR><BR>>>Is one permitted to read
discussion group email on Shabbos? Or, is it a<BR>problem of hakhanah, since one
will plan replies to be typed after<BR>Shabbos?<BR><BR>And would it make a
difference if the group is Avodah or Areivim?<<<BR></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>>>>>></DIV>
<DIV>Why ask about reading the print-out on Shabbos? What about
reading something online before Shabbos and then discussing it at the
Shabbos table and asking people what they think about the issues -- with the
intention of posting to the group after Shabbos?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And why only email groups? What about discussing at the Shabbos table
something that came up in a conversation with another friend, with the
intention of getting back to that friend with an answer? Intuitively I
doubt there is any problem with any of these scenarios, actually.</DIV>
