By the influx of newbies I have just noticed that besides being
the 2926th day of September 1993 (the September which never ended)
it is also September. Here's a public service announcement:

If you're a newbie
------------------

Welcome to alt.folklore.urban. 'Newbie' is not an insult, it
just means you're new here. This group has an established set
of customs and attempts to demonstrate high standards for
entertainment and literacy. A style-guide is posted monthly and
you can find a copy on the web at the URLs shown at the foot of
this post.

If you're not a newbie
----------------------

AFU is not a game of whack-a-mole. If we don't get any newbies
we have nothing to do except talk about urban legends and you know
how boring that can be. Be nice to them unless they're rude to
us first and if you're moved to flame someone attempt to do it
with at least a modicum of style. If they've missed the monthly
style-guide posting the most recent one can be found on the web at

Style-guide
-----------

http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=B7B874569668536C%4010.0.1.3

or, for those of you with a text-only browser

http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=B7B874569668536C%4010.0.1.3&output=gplain

FAQ

The FAQ is posted monthly in five parts. The most recent version
can be found at

'Twas Tue, 04 Sep 2001 23:59:19 +0100 when the wise and venerated
sla...@hearsay.demon.co.uk@localhost (Simon Slavin) enlightened
alt.folklore.urban with these thought provoking words:

Glad to be of service.

If I have any integrity at all, I must leave.
I welcome others to do so as well if they refuse to be led by a group of
unthinking drones that are stuck in such a mindnumbingly predictable
pattern of
snuh/attack/snuh/attack/penises/attack/snuh/rectum/attack/.
