CHARTER:

This newsgroup was created as part of a trial "bulk creation" newsgroup
creation process, in which "obvious" newsgroups are created without specific
proponents or charters. Users of this group are urged to formulate a more
specific charter and/or newsgroup description for this group, and to propose
them in news.groups.proposals.

If this group is not used within the next 18 months, it will be removed.
For more information, please refer to the FAQs posted in
news.announce.newgroups.

Advertising, spam, and excessive crossposting are prohibited. Messages must
be plain text only (no HTML, pictures or other binaries) with the exception
of X-Face headers or PGP-type signatures. Posts should be on-topic for the
name of the group, subject to future interpretation by the overall group
culture.

It isn't spam. The Big-8 Management Board posts these announcements to
related newsgroups.

Because Google's premiere service is their search engine?

Don't worry, followups were set. And they will be set again.
