Thus, this argument in favor of the proposed new group holds no water


I was not arguing in favor of the new group. I did not vote "yes". I was
pointing out to JOAT that there are some instances where a charter can
matter.

And my point was that this is not one of them; at least not one in which the
charter can make a *beneficial* difference.

Even granting the somewhat dubious assumption that the charter would cause
Dizum to block access through *their* mail-to-news gateway,
1) many other similar gateways exist, and\
2) it's still wide-open through Google.

And the proposed charter, if enforced, would shut off *all* commercial posts,
no matter how limited in frequency, including posts which many of us find to
be of benefit.
