2. What sorts of articles are on-topic in alt.astrology.metapsych?
As you can tell from the unfortunate name of this newsgroup, just about
anything is on-topic. Anything related to astrology is on-topic.
Anything related to any topic which starts with "psych", such as
psychology, psychiatry, psychics, psychometry, psychosis, or the psyche,
is on-topic. Further, anything related to anything which is "meta", or
"above," any of those subjects, is on-topic.
As a matter of fact, many readers of alt.astrology.metapsych have
expressed the sentiment that *every* *single* Usenet article should
be cross-posted to alt.astrology.metapsych, except, of course, those
articles which violate the charter.
3. What sorts of articles are off-topic in alt.astrology.metapsych?
The only articles which are considered off-topic in this newsgroup
are those which violate the charter, specifically:
1) Advertisements of any sort.
2) JPEG's, GIF's, Animations, ASCII art, or other still
or motion based images.
3) Posting of notice of complaints of off-topicness simply
because of disagreement.
4) Those containing URL's to commercial websites.
5) Posts crossposted to more than five discussion groups.
6) Posts containing follow-ups set only to sender.
7) Posts containing follow-ups set only outside of this
newsgroup.
 Canned screeds or boilerplate copy cannot be posted
more than once every six months.
4. Who is the owner and official overseer of alt.astrology.metapsych?
The Official Owner and Overseer of alt.astrology.metapsych is Cujo.
If you ever have any questions about what is appropriate in the
newsgroup, Cujo is the only person who can give you an official
answer.
5. Someone told me my article was off-topic in alt.astrology.metapsych
and reported me to my ISP. Should I be worried?
Not at all. Since alt.astrology.metapsych is an un-moderated group
in the alt.* hierarchy, it is very unlikely that any ISP would ever
take action in response to a complaint of off-topic posting in the
group.
If the complaints become a problem, the best thing you can do is
refer your ISP to one of the charter URLs above. The best one is
this one:
