Info for alt.motorcycles.abate
Below is the original control message that was used in the creation
of alt.motorcycles.abate. I created the group on July 9th 1999.
<<<BEGIN CONTROL INFO
For your newsgroups file : alt.motorcycles.abate
Charter : This group will be for the discussion of information
relating to all the different chapters of A.B.A.T.E around the country,
discussion of charity rides, events, legislative news, motorcycle
safety, rider education, and awareness. Language: English, Non-Binary.
Justification : A check on Deja-News in the motorcycle related groups
that it checked showed 1300 matches for "abate" not counting variations
such as A.B.A.T.E.
END CONTROL INFO>>>
Here is the first message I sent out to the group concerning the
charter and such:
<<<START MESSAGE
I realized that I never posted the original charter and such for this
newsgroup after it was created so here it is (posted at end of message).
This newsgroup is not meant for "for sale" ads or solicitation for
pictures that are non-ABATE related. This group was created as a
non-binary group so please don't post pictures here, please just post a
link to a picture if you want others to see it. The "A" in ABATE usually
stands for "American" (although I have seen some different variations)
hence the "Language: English" listed in the charter. And no... I'm not
anti-anyone, if I can be shown that there are ABATE Chapters in any non-english
speaking countries I can always change it if there's a good reason.
Having said all that, I know this isn't a moderated newsgroup so I'm
sure there are those that will simply ignore everything in this message.
It will be pointed out to me that I don't own the newsgroup and that's
true. I don't own the newsgroup, I don't own usenet, I'm not a censor,
there's nothing I can do about it blah blah blah. I can only send this
out and hope others follow the intent of the group. I will send this out
to the newsgroup every now and then however when needed and then ignore
the flames.
