CHARTER OF SOC.CULTURE.VIETNAMESE:
Members: Anyone with access to USENET
Purpose: To discuss subjects related specifically to Viet Nam & its culture.
1. The group is intended to be a medium for exchanging and discussing any
information relating to Vietnamese culture, news, politics, geography,
etc.
2. It also aims at creating opportunities for exchanging knowledge
learning more about Vietnamese culture (custom, history, ...); sharing
news relating to VietNam, Vietnamese refugees, and Vietnamese
communities aboard; expanding friendships between Vietnamese Student
Associations of various universities; assisting, encouraging and
helping each others in education as well as in employment; making new

All postings must abide by the goals, purposes, rules, etiquette,
and regulations contained in the bylaws of USENET, which can be
found in
news.announce.newusers.
4. Private discussions are highly encouraged to be carried through
private channel. If one has the "urge" to FLAME, please try to do so
PRIVATELY! Let put ourselves in the other person's shoe -- it is
quite embarassing "to be roasted" in front of the forum even if one
does deserve it :-) Furthermore please take into consideration the
fact that quite often, it is hard to fully express what a person
thinks in writing, and sometime things get phrased in not quite the
right ways. Doing so, we can keep things more friendly and
constructive, preventing unnecessary misunderstanding and degeneration
to less constructive messages.
5. Dued to the wide range of subjects under soc.culture.vietnamese,
a header should be included on the subject line to indicate the content
of the message. Proposed headers include [NEWS], [SOC], [TECH], or
[MISC].
