Just in case you get flamed, because we all forget bits of the Usenet
Guidelines and Rules for Posting and people just love to jump in
shouting SPAM without doing a bit of reading...

From my 1993 copy.

Some more knowledgeable person might have the rules and guidelines for
this specific group though.
