Hi All,

Does anyone have or know how to get the charter for this group when it
was created. I actually sent the control message years ago and had a
charter at one time. I'd like to revisit the charter to add more
strongly the requirement of being on topic. If someone can show me how
to get the group statistics, that would be helpful as well.

Thanks very much,

Here's some statistics on this group:

Don't know where you'd find the charter, unless it's archived on Google.
If there even is one - this post indicates it was "being developed"...

Welcome most sincerely to alt.flyfishing. This is an unmoderated NG whose
charter as a flyfishing discussion forum is being developed and which exists
as an "ALT"ernative to the mainstream of flyfishing.

Loking forward to many great posts and discussions here.

So, what's on your mind flyfishermen ?

Thank you very, very much Daytripper.

Unless we find the charter, I'd like to vote to write a new one.

I'd suggest something like:
- alt.flyfishing an unmoderated group but with a strong charter for
staying on topic.
- posts should be strongly related to fishing or flyfishing
- anything even slightly OT should carry the requirement that an OBAF
(obligatory alt.fishing) is required.
- considerate responses, timely responses
- expectation of some contribution of all members
- novels relating to fishing, flyfishing encouraged, trip reports
encouraged
- no commercial advertising or polls, surveys by commercial venture
- fish species agnostic
- no flaming anyone for killing, or releasing, of legal fish
- common courtesy and an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect will be
observed at all times

Sincerely,

Halfordian Golfer
