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

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.
