Those look reasonably close to what I remember (it's been a long time).
I have the originals as well as the content of the original ASA website
at home still.   Heck, I still have the messages when the AlarmSystems
group was formed on RelayNet back in the 80's.

As an unmoderated group understand that you have no recourse against
anyone who doesn't follow the rules or charter.  The rules and charters
are only for those that want to "play nice".  Generally only those
asking for help will follow the rules, those who are using it for
personal means will do what they want and say to he\\ with the rules.
Going to a moderated group would be the only way to really control the
group  Sad but true.

With that said, if a bunch of you decide to move forward with this, if I
can provide web hosting or other support for the effort, let me know.
