The reason I was asking is because I was creating an archive of the
newsgroup in our forums and wanted to have the rules available so a
member would have to agree before posting. Kind of like google groups
posts to the usenet. But I have since decided after much stink from
some other newsgroups that I will not allow any posting period to aviod
problems with any people on our site posting anything against your
rules. It will be read-only. But I would like to get permission from
the group here to have those on our site. Let me know, if it bothers
you I will remove them. Again there will be read-only and not be able
to post to here.


I am afraid that you misunderstand usenet. There is no boss or committee
that runs these groups and gives permissions. Some groups are moderated
which is different - but this and most groups are unmoderated and are sort
of a free for all. Free speech at its best and worst at the same time!
