- You missed by far the most important - a commitmant by the AARNet
- administration that a site that imports these groups via another link will
- be allowed to redistribute the groups on to AARNet. Last I heard on the
- subject was that any site that did this could face having their link to
- AARNet removed (I don't know how that fits with Pyramid importing and
- distributing the alt.drugs group).

- Peter or Geoff, care to comment on the AARNet-legality of the scheme?
- Peter.
