The usual suspects are<br /> prohibited (spam, binaries, direct advertising, etc.)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups (moderated)<br /> news.groups.proposals (moderated)<br /> rec.arts.tv<br /> alt.tv.comedy-central.daily-show<br /> comp.internet.services.wiki<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT:<br /> <br /> Tim Skirvin &lt;tskirvin@killfile.org&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY:<br /> <br /> 2007-10-17 1st RFD<br /> 2007-10-22 2nd RFD/LCC<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
