I like the idea of guidelines but suspect Usenet is too chaotic to
really enforce this kind of thing.  But we can try as a community to
behave.

As for mentions on web sites, I got one published this morning here:
http://www.ngrblog.com/slashdot-usenet/

It's the Newsgroups Review website and gets decent traffic from people
interested in trying out Usenet.  Hope this is helpful, not harmful.
