For your newsgroup file: uk.freebies / free.stuff.uk [etc... I prefer uk.freebies] CHARTER: This un-moderated newsgroup will be used by all those who wish to discuss any current UK freebies, freebie sites etc. that they know of on the internet. They will also be able to discuss whether the item has been recieved, the quality of the item and the speed of service. Commercial messages, binaries, or postings in HTML are not allowed in the newsgroup. The newsgroup does not currently have a FAQ. JUSTIFICATION: I am aware of alt.consumers.free-stuff, but it is far too American, it is impossible to locate UK freebies within. This NG would be for UK based freebies only. Thank you for your time and consideration. Gemma. [This proposal can also be found at http://www.geocities.com/audioworld_info/ukfreebies.htm] -- I have had a message from one supporter so far: Rewording <rewording@aol. com> This sounds like a great idea.
