CHARTER:

btinternet.homepages.announce is an unmoderated newsgroup set up to provide a forum for BT Internet customers to publicise their web pages

WHAT IS THIS NEWSGROUP FOR?

btinternet.homepages.announce is an area where customers can advertise their website to other BT Internet customers. Messages are posted by customers publishing their first ever website through to those more experienced announcing new features or additions to their pages. Occasionally off-topic messages are posted that would be better posted to btinternet.homepages.authoring

The charter for this newsgroup will be reposted regularly. The subject line will be NEWSGROUP CHARTER - BTINTERNET.HOMEPAGES.ANNOUNCE

HOW TO POST:

This group is available for all BT Internet customers to post into. Please use line lengths of no more than 75. This ensures that your text is kept within the 80 character-per-line limit of most terminals in both your initial article and in any followup articles, where it is customary to prefix each line of quotation from another article with an additional character (normally >) to indicate that the material is quoted.

Please be considerate to other customers by limiting articles to less than 50 lines in length. Posts that exceed this limit should ideally be pared down or subdivided; alternatively you could submit an announcement of the article instead, asking that readers respond via e-mail in order to obtain the actual article.

If you quote a previously posted article, please limit the amount of quoted text that you include. One may generally assume that readers have already seen an article to which one is responding, and therefore that you need only quote as much as required in order to establishing the context of your article.

Choose your subject heading carefully!
