You missed by far the most important - a commitmant by the AARNet
administration that a site that imports these groups via another link will
be allowed to redistribute the groups on to AARNet.  Last I heard on the
subject was that any site that did this could face having their link to
AARNet removed (I don't know how that fits with Pyramid importing and
distributing the alt.drugs group).

Peter or Geoff, care to comment on the AARNet-legality of the scheme?
   Peter.
