Seems to be that time of year again for everyone to have a gander at the
Charter for this rec. newsgroup.

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

ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/news.announc...rs.jeep+******

Here is the Charter text quoted:

RATIONALE: rec.autos.makers.jeep+******

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 ****** 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+******

The unmoderated newsgroup rec.autos.makers.jeep+****** is to be used
for discussions, announcements, expression of opinions, and questions
about Jeep (Trade Mark) and ****** 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/****** 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.

Discussion of the charter isn't listed in the approved discussions list.
Maybe you should mark it as off-topic. ;-)

Sorry, couldn't resist being a smart ***.

Actually I think it was needed. I just went to google and 8 of the most
recent 25 active threads had to deal with Lloyd! Thankfully I have
killfiled most people or related threads so it hasn't been a big deal for
me.

Thanks Mike, but I'm reminded of the old cliché: you can lead a horse to
water, but we can't make it drink.
