true to an extent, but it's a netscape group. netscape could change a setting, and partition the "real" copy of the group from the ones that exist on various servers around the world... > The charter of a NG is per definition the body of the newgroup control > message and not anything written on some webpage I doubt that there has ever been a proper control message for this group - it was simply started on a private server. > , because what is > written on some webpage can change, charters can't change per > definition. there is no charter AFAIK. > Have a little excursion on Usenet history, thank you very much. I think it's you that needs to do that "Usenet" is a specific set of news hierarchies - "netscape." is not one of them. this group doesn't officially exist, it was just created on a private server, and then some news admins decided to carry it... in terms of charters and control messages, it has about the same status as the large number of funky alt. groups clueless people have created which have not been agreed in alt.config... -- michael
