In a previous post someone asked about "show-and-tell". This post from
1998 about the original charter for this group also talks about gifs, etc. as being allowable only on alt.binaries newsgroups. I found it by entering charter in the "search this group" box. There is also a lot of interesting information in the archives, which can be found by clicking "about this group". The archives listing shows a definite slowdown in posts over the last few years. I'm basically a lurker, and have been glad to see the revived interest in this newsgroup. LindaFollowing is the Charter for this group:
CHARTER: rec.crafts.rubberstamps
The purpose of the newsgroup is to facilitate open discussion of the craft of rubberstamping. It will provide a global forum to discuss topics concerning rubberstamping, its techniques, vendors, sources of supplies, and to arrange swaps.
The group will be unmoderated.
Postings from vendors advertising their products and sales are welcome provided they announce the word vendor in the subject line of their posting.
END CHARTER.
The group was proposed and organized by: Phyllis Rowan Linda Berman Suzanne Colter Karen Clark Michele Scheel Kim Thomas
although none of us currently seem to be very active in the group.
Posting gifs, jpegs, etc. is not allowed as it is only allowed in the alt.binaries newsgroups.
I hope this answers any questions.
