FAQ
I'd forgotten the charter wording, but I remember voting on it...
As to a FAQ, someone had written one years and years ago (Aaron maybe?). Or we talked about it. I'd not mind getting the discussion going about writing another one. I'd be happy to maintain it and post it on a regular basis. I've been here forever and I'm not planning on leaving, go ahead and try to kick me out... *grin*. I don't particularly have the time to write the entire FAQ though, or even most of it. If everybody chips in a section, I'd collate them. I have a 'FAQ-let' that I wrote in 93, maybe 94 on my webpage, if anybody wants to read it. FAQs are great resources for information, but unfortunately it doesn't do much to police any group. Some people won't read it, people who intentionally abuse the group _certainly_ won't read it, newbies don't usually know FAQs exist, and it might cut down on some interesting discussion. I like 'newbies' to ask questions. I often learn something too. Of course it helps to not have to answer the 'where do I cut my phalaenopsis stem' question every other day, but it isn't that burdensome. I'm not as annoyed as Mick by binary posting. But I'm hooked into one of the fastest connections at a university which is on the fastest backbone in the world... At least at work. If the students aren't hammering Napster, I can get almost anything instantaneously. I don't even try to read the newsgroup at home, I'm lucky to get 26 kbs. I'd really be ****ed if I had to wade through my dialup connection to get binary images I couldn't even see. So keep them in the binary groups where they belong. Rob This newsgroup's charter is available he ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/news.an...ardens.orchids I would like to start a Request for Discussion to create a new group, rec.gardens.orchids. Bob Hill . CHARTER This group is designed to allow orchid hobbyists to discuss orchid types, cultivation and propagation techniques, and orchid events. Questions ranging from very simple (what is an orchid?) to very complex and scientific are welcomed. Discussion should be limited to orchids, with discussion of bromeliads and other epiphytes also acceptable. Orchid growing areas (greenhouses, outdoor conditions) are also an acceptable topic of discussion. -- Rob's Rules: http://www.msu.edu/~halgren 1) There is always room for one more orchid 2) There is always room for two more orchids 2a. See rule 1 3) When one has insufficient credit to purchase more orchids, obtain more credit |
