- to alt.newlywed approximately once per month, and this mini-FAQ
- once per week.
-
- 1. What is alt.newlywed?
- Alt.newlywed is a forum for discussing issues that are common to newly
- married couples. Potential issues of interest mentioned when the group
- was configured on May 6, 1996, include name changes, finances,
- combining of households, and compromises.
-
- 2. What topics belong on alt.newlywed?
- Topics should generally be related to the unique experiences that
- come with the early years of marriage. There also is a legitimate and
- valued element of "staying in touch" with other graduates from the
- wedding newsgroups. Alt.newlywed is not a wedding planning group, and
- wedding or honeymoon planning questions do not belong here.
-
- Alt.newlywed is also not a general marriage support group; people looking
- for support for marriage problems should turn to alt.support.marriage.
- Pregnancy, babies and infertility are topics that inevitably crop up
- when a group of newlyweds get together! Threads that are solely
- about these and related issues should be labelled (eg by putting [Preg] in
- the Subject: header) so that people who are not interested can skip over
- those threads.
-
- 3. Is advertising allowed on alt.newlywed?
- Messages advertising products or services are not permitted on
- alt.newlywed. Products or services may be promoted only in
- (a) recommendations in response to a specific inquiry and
- (b) the poster's .sig file.
- Using the newsgroup as a source of mailing list names for unsolicited
- commercial or political e-mail messages is also forbidden.
