For some time, USF@VAX5.CIT.CORNELL.EDU has been posting commercial notices to the SCI.SPACE newsgroup. Moreover, he apparently is savvy enough about kill files to continually vary the subject line of his posts so as to frustrate those with no interest in his postings. I understand that he's doing against the wishes of the management of VAX5.CIT.CORNELL.EDU. Could somebody please send me (and him) a reference to the guidelines for postings to the newsgroups? Thanks.

From: United Space Federation, Inc. Ithaca, N.Y., USA Subject: We are seeking your support in our present efforts to set up an International Space Agency by 1993. At present the USF is setting up an International Executive Committee to further develop the USF. There are also openings for USF Directors and Officers. We are also looking to build a strong E-Mail support group. Dear Space Enthusiast, The United Space Federation, Inc. is now looking for your support in a historic undertaking of great importance. We are endeavoring to set up an International Space Administration that would not compete with national space programs or organizations, but would unite and focus their efforts in one common direction. We are looking for people who would like to participate on our now forming International Executive Committee. You would be involved in the formation and development of this International Space agency and would exchange your ideas with others around the world. You would have both a say and vote in all aspects of this effort and the USF's activities. If this sounds interesting to you, drop us a line and we will contact you in this regards. Also, there are now openings for Directors on the USF's Board of Directors. If you would be interested in this opportunity or would like more information about this, please contact us and we will promptly reply. And lastly, we are looking to build a strong E-Mail support group to allow people who wish to support the USF but do not want to be a Committee Member, Director, or Officer the chance to both participate in the development of the USF and to keep abreast of the USF's activities and accomplishments. We look forward to your reply in these regards. Thank you for your time and support! Sincerely, Rick R. Dobson Executive Director and Founder United Space Federation, Inc.
