Though not 100% of them are represented, there is a
Usenet Charter Directory at:

http://www.lib.ox.ac.uk/internet/news/faq/by_group.index.html

You can find the specific rules for each Usenet group
there. There are other directories as well.

The truth is that each Usenet group has its own
guidelines that cannot be discerned simply by lurking.
Some are moderated, others aren't. Some welcome
commercial posts (and URLs), but others forbid it.
Some even have sister Newsgroups designed just for ads,
or companion Web sites where commercial posts are
encouraged, even sought. And yes, some will come after
you hard if you break the rules. Others (moderated)
simply keep the post from ever making it to the group,
just like this list.

Most post their rules at least once a week, so
lurk-n-learn a while, but do some research, too. And
heaven forbid you actually participate and add value to
the group. That'd be insane... <g>

Thanks, Eric Ward
