There are a lot of vague references to said charters and "reporting
people for spam", but not one person yet has yet posted a link. Any of
ya actually got one? tick tick tick.... TIME'S UP


Well THAT's fair. :-/

There is no formal charter since misc.kids evolved out of another group when
many of the newsgroups were renamed, but there *is* a FAQ posted in
misc.kids.info, with this link:

ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.a...kids/faq/part1

Which contains:


* Please do not post advertisements. misc.kids is a non-commercial
newsgroup. Reviews and discussions of commercial products relating to
children are appropriate, although they would be more appropriate
in misc.kids.consumers.

Hmmm! "Reviews and discussions of commercial products relating to
children are appropriate...."

Which, I must point out, would NOT include the sellers of the products pushing
them.


Thank You! Case Dismissed!

P.S., I think you're wrong about the evolution of ' misc.kids.' These
group names haven't changed in at least 18 years...since before there
was a 'web'.


Look up the Great Renaming. I think Wikipedia has a decent article on it (or
part of an article).

And Usenet exists quite apart from the "web" and predates Google, DejaNews, and
even the old webcrawlers.
