Participation in the Discussion Group Conferences is offered to you conditioned
on your acceptance of the terms, conditions and notices contained below. Your
membership in a Discussion Group Conference constitutes your agreement to all
such terms, conditions and notices.

defamatory, obscene, pornographic, profane, or otherwise objectionable
