Which makes Larry's link redundant, although it does prove that charter messages are not modified to reflect the updated charter for a (...)

At the bottom of the page, there are already a link to 'Terms of Use'. 'Newsgoup Charter' would be a natural next to (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) GREAT idea. (...) Well, many groups have a blurb at the top which is the group specific part of the charter. But providing a link to the whole thing is a good idea too, and I've done that for trains and trains.org. I suggest other curators (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) Charters are always post #1. One thing to remember is that while Lugnet appears to be an NNTP server with an e-mail interface and a very nifty web interface, it's really a huge data base, with NNTP, e-mail, and web interfaces. Requesting post (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) I honestly can't remember if this is true or not once the charter got revised... LUGNET in general has a policy that posts never are modified, ever, but I forget if that policy applies to charters. I *thought* BST has had charter revisions but (...)

Also, if you're trying to look up the charter, I don't (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.admin.general)

It's easy in my newsreader (emacs+gnus) to jump to message #1, or any message in the group I'm reading if I know its number, but I didn't think that was (...)
