What I would like to know is what is considered appropriate, and what is
*not* considered appropriate.
For example, I thought it prudent to have given TLG a heads-up about some
pieces that aren't readily available that I wanted, and posted it in there.
Now, if the post was sent to that newsgroup in error and not the appropriate
newsgroup that they wished to find it in, I would appreciate someone telling
me of such inappropriateness.
I read the charter for that group, and it would appear that piece-requests
were appropriate - if this was not meant to be the case, I would appreciate
someone making corrections to the charter for that group.
Cheers ...
