Posting the RAMJ+W or this Newsgroup's CHARTER!

In order to keep this Newsgroup's Charter active it is supposed to be posted now and then. I try to do that just because.

Oh, RAMJ+W just means Rec.Autos.Makers.Jeep+Willys for those that don't know.

I enjoy the group without any advertising crap in it and so far the Commercial advertisers have been great about not violating the Charter once they have been informed about it.

Hey if someone works for a commercial entity and uses that in their sig line that doesn't seem to offend most here, but blatant advertising is a no no.

There are a few commercial entities that post here with helpful advise and their work tag in the sig line.

For those who don't know what this rec.*.* NG's charter is the whole process including the votes can be viewed here:

Here is the Charter text quoted:

RATIONALE: rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys

The discussion of Jeep 4 wheel drive vehicles began on the offroad mailing list as well as on the Usenet group rec.autos.4x4. As the offroad mailing list grew in size, the Jeep-L listserver was set up to discuss topics specifically to Jeep and Willys vehicles.

At this time there are more that 50 articles sent to the Jeep listserver, as well as > 50 articles being sent on the offroad server daily. The volume on the usenet group rec.autos.4x4 exceeds 125 articles daily.

It has been suggested that a new Usenet group be created to take the load off of the listservers as well as limit the articles in the rec.autos.4x4 newsgroup.

CHARTER: rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys

The unmoderated newsgroup rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys is to be used for discussions, announcements, expression of opinions, and questions about Jeep (Trade Mark) and Willys vehicles. It also serves as a medium for those interested in sharing and exchanging their experience. It is also meant to be a forum for buying and selling parts by non-commercial vendors.

Some things that could be discussed....

-Jeep/Willys history -repairs and modifications -parts exchange -technical information -4x4 driving experiences -vehicle restoration -new vehicle evaluations

Some things that shouldn't be discussed....

-4 wheel drive vehicles made by other manufacturers -commercial posts

The articles sent to the Jeep listserver will be cross-posted to Usenet but not vise versa.

END CHARTER.

End quote.

Just thought we all needed a reminder that this isn't a free for all alt.*.* group but a rec.*.* group that at least has some basic rules.
