A little while ago a gentleman by the name of Chirs Anderson thought
that the nettiquette article(s) needed to be changed, and suggested:
a) that each group have it's own "nettiquette" article that new
subscribers to that group should read (for instance, any of the
*.sources.* groups might have a line about NOT posting *anything*
other than source, or perhaps binaries, in that group--requests
for soruces should be posted to *.sources.request, or whatever the
appropiate group for that computer was); and b) that .announce.newusers
should have it's nettiquette article re-written.

Out of these suggestions came a rough draft of (b).  It was posted
a few months ago, but didn't get much attention.  Perhaps it would
be worthwhile to re-post it.  Chris is off the net until summer comes
around, but I have a copy of the latest drafts and have been
semi-intrusted with spreading their gospel in his absense.
