Readers of rec.travel.asia with a particular interest in China may also
be interested in THE ORIENTAL-LIST.

Now more than 11 years old and with several hundred members, the list
provides a forum for the discussion of travel in China, and across
China's borders to the nearest major centres, such as Almaty, Bishkek,
Islamabad, Kathmandu, Hanoi, and Ulaan Baatar.

The Oriental-List accepts practical travel queries; discussions of the
merits of individual destinations or routes; accounts of individual
experiences; historical and cultural material relevant to China travel;
reviews and notifications of other China travel resources (newsgroups,
publications, websites, public lectures, etc); political, legal, and
ethical matters to do with travel in China, and China travel news items.

This list is moderated to keep it free from off-topic material, personal
attacks, abuse, foul language, cross-postings, spam, or other trivia. It
is intended to be supplementary to other sources, and does not accept
queries easily answered by looking in a guide book, those in chat-room
style, or overly vague.

The answer to almost any China travel question can vary from month to
month, and so the list maintains no archive, and regards published
sources such as guide books as its FAQ file, dealing mainly in matters
beyond the scope of such books.

The Oriental-List is run entirely pro bono, carries no advertising, the
list of members is not made available to any individual or third party
organisation, and email addresses are stripped from all headers to
prevent their exploitation.

Members include those planning their first trips to China, experienced
China travellers, China-based journalists and foreign residents, as well
as the authors of several books on travel in China.

I doubt that. The homosexual has compromised any such efforts by this
persistent spamming.

Why do you keep telling this in rta? Use e-mail to notify people about this
"group of yours" instead. Create an e-mail directory. Your brain is
seemingly a bit strained. It doesn't work properly. You are punitively
stupid.

What do you need such a forum for? rta does the job alright. You have lost a
few marbles from your head.

This is just funny. What about rta then? Is it spam free too? You spam to
rta in order to broadcast that there is a forum which is spam free.

Buy a fresh piece of brain.

Once again what do you need a "moderated forum for discussion on travelling
in China" for? By all means establish such a group inside the usenet. All
the required tools are readily available. In this fashion you don't have to
spam in usenet to tell people that you have a "forum" outside usenet.
Actually there is no reason to do so now. Tune your e-mail utilities. If you
cannot do the job, ask someone to do it for you.

Perhaps the reason for you not having done so by now is that it would
violate usenet policies to spam by a group maintainer........... Well, your
activities as they are set now do equally violate usenet
policies............

This is a bit thick, don't you think. The faggot is pathetic. In that
rudimentary entry page you advertise "travel guides": poorly written horse
manure on China and Central Asia. True waste of paper and ink.

My advice to you is: establish your moderated group in the usenet and stop
harassing the subscribers of usenet group rec.travel.asia by this periodical
and repetitive nonsense. Don't you believe the folks have deserved that.
Anyways, I will report your ISP once again....... It will be one of the
happier days when the homo is gone for good with this insane drivel.
