- This observation is important, I think. We need to devise the

- of the newsgroup is not to support discussion of various ethnic
- conflicts. There are definitions of words like "aboriginal" and
- "indigenous" which come from bodies like the United Nations which
- can be very useful in this regard.

- The only "charter" most people will ever see is the newsgroup name,
- which is one reason it is important to choose a good one. Some of
- them will see the one-line description from the "newsgroups" file;
- very few will ever see the charter from the CFV. It's too bad that
- newsreaders don't display the charter the first time you open a
- newsgroup.
