- Is a terminologically specific charter going to help the chances of

- haggle about like this? If not, then the original charter is OK by

- Another point. No matter how carefully the words presented in the
- charter are thought out, they will only very approximately govern the
- actual content of the new group (assuming it is created). The
- one-line charter from the newsgroups file is as likely to be important
- for defining what really goes on in the group. Much more important
- than either of those is the feedback given to posters by seasoned
- members of the group. Something to consider is including the charter
- in a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) article posted regularly to the
- group.
