s.a.p. is an open group, our charter can be found
http://danny.oz.au/communities/sci.anthropology/Charter.html
Ed Conrads activities are basically controlled through robomoderation
of this group. Jabriol the same, as both used this group as the
launch platform for their attacks.

s.a.p. is a group where members, those who agree and disagree with
each other have all volunterily limited their crossposting
activities. As a result flooding freqeuntly comes from external
groups or disenfranchised individuals who have a vendetta.

I will not post more on this because me and DIG have a previous
agreement on the issue. I have told Mr. Ambrosini that I have
requested he be allowed to repost with the moderator, it is up to the
moderator to fulfill his obligations. If Ambrosini uses his given
name I expect he will be allowed to repost. I do not believe it is an
unusual request that a person posting to the UseNet be allowed to
post to the group where by all agreement his posts are on-topic.

http://danny.oz.au/communities/sci.anthropology/FAQ.html

The fates of s.a.p. and t.o. have been tied together from the
beggining, as you can see from the FAQ

"
III: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. You don't seriously expect me to believe this garbage about man
evolving from monkeys, do you?

This kind of polemical question, or anything related (presumably from
creationists), is not appropriate for this group. Please refrain from
following up to such posts in sci.anthropology.paleo; direct the
debate to talk.origins, which is where it belongs. (There is a
talk.origins archive.)
"

IOW, even in 1995 the primarily asked question is redirected to
talk.origins and talk.origins archive. In talk.origins archive you
will find a FAQ for sci.anthropology.paleo. Like other groups s.a.p.
is linked to talk.origins in complex ways each serving its own
function. Regulars of this group are also members of s.a.p. and
s.archaeology. As well as members of several Yahoo groups. These
members feed information from these group back into talk.origin, but
will only do so as long as these groups function.
Obviously there are moderated forums for discussion, created from
s.a.p. directly are two groups. PaleoAnthro is a group with 400
current members its moderator is Mikey Brass, but was created by Phil
Nicholls. Molecular Anthropology has 120 members, it was created by
Gisele Horvat and Myself.

I have no great vested interest in s.a.p. anymore, but I used the
group for a decade and would like to see it functional so that others
can use it. In part it was some of my effort that helped to clean it
up and prevented it from taking the course of other sci.* groups. As
a result it is easier for me to come and deal with talk.origins than
it is for those who don't know how, or are freightened by the often
'colorful' responses that are seen on this group. I will not bring
T.O. to a halt or go to NG again. I simply think that we can resolve
this issue maturely, with those mature individuals here making a few
private emails and tweeking things for Mr. Ambrosini. Of course the
UseNet will not live on forever, and old things will die as new more
competitive venues come alive, thus let us make the best of the
UseNet now instead of quibbling like school children over who's
responsible for what. In the time since the big division when most
sci.* groups were formed very few new groups have been created,
whereas the UseNet has greatly increased the number of groups. Very
few sci.* groups have gone onto moderation and very few moderated
groups work that well. Part of the reason is the UseNet has gotten a
black eye from naer do well activities. Talk.origins exists for a
reason.
