Just to point it out, this is cut & pasted directly from the Newsgroups
TOS document found at keyword: Newsgroups on AOL.  It mentions both
charters and FAQs.  Where none are found, AOL members are directed to
consult with the AOL newsmaster.

> COMMERCIAL ARTICLES. The vast majority of newsgroups are NOT commercial and participants in those newsgroups will object strongly to commercial traffic. If you have any questions about a commercial article, you should review the newsgroup's FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) or charter document. If you cannot find a FAQ or charter, contact NewsMaster, one of the America Online Cyberjockeys (identifiable by their screen name beginning with "CJ") or PMDAtropos for clarification.<
