I am eager to see if Mr Stussy is as equally adamant in his "fight"
to
get
K1MAN to stop sludging up the Internet with his extension of his
on-the-air
antics or not.

Brother Stussy is suggesting ARN honor long-standing newsgroup
charters (even though one would be hard pressed to find them). He's
leaving K1MAN
for
the FCC to deal with. One is a matter of netiquette; the other is a
matter of law.

So sayeth we ...

Why is one "hard pressed" to find the newsgroup charters? Put
"rec.radio.amateur guidelines" into google.com's search engine and see
that there are at least five sites that have them..... Or is that
beyond your capability?

Personally I found them just fine.

What YOU will find hard to find is anyone who can attest to ARN's
postings as being SPAM when there are over 300 hits a month in this forum
alone for porno, cheap, non prescription erectile dysfunction drugs, and
offers for get-rich-quick schemes...Especially when the CONTENT of ARN's
posts are DIRECTLY RELATED to Amateur Radio POLICY.

Good point, and the rec groups aren't near as bad of spam dumps as the
alt groups are. If it's spam his ISP or NSP will shut it down real
quick in most cases.
