Thank you very, very much Daytripper.


I know there is a charter aas I have found it before--many years ago?

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.

That is an impossibility! The charter is like the US Constitution, its only
on paper--sort of. If there is no one to *enforce* the charter, a
moderator, nothing can be done to ensure what it is that you want.

- posts should be strongly related to fishing or flyfishing

see above

- anything even slightly OT should carry the requirement that an OBAF

"should" but good luck.

(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

You are talking MODERATED!
