Group charter question

At the risk of being told I'm posting this in the wrong group, how is one
supposed to (quickly) view the charter of a group through the web interface?  I
mean, some of these groups have over 4000 messages. Is there a quick way to get
to the first two?

And as a minor rant, for those of you out there who feel obliged to police the
groups and tell folks they're posting in the wrong place, how about pointing
them in the right direction, too.  As an example, imagine going to the
hospital, finding what you think is the information desk, asking a question,
and being told, "You can't ask that question here," with no help as to where
you CAN ask that question.

(...) James Brown gave a couple good ways, and here's one other way, if you type fast: Take the newsgroup name, change the .'s to /'s, remove the 'lugnet', tack a / on the end of it, and paste that onto the end of '(URL) then load up that URL and (...)
