I did a quick Google search and didn't find a "good" site which hosted
it. The one I found looked "sketchy", so I didn't reply.

The best way to find it might be to search Google Groups (or whatever
it's called these days) for the FAQ in the sci.space newsgroups. But I
don't have time to do it for you, as I'm up to my neck in "real work"
for which I get paid.

i'm not asking anyone to retrce my footsteps... i've already done all the searching and have come up empty handed... believe it or not, i've actually been searching for a month or two... the moderators in sci.space.science pointed me here... not even the
again, thanks for trying and for replying

If the above link does not work:

Go to Google Groups. Search for the news.answers group. Then search
for sci.space in the "search by topic" key-in field.

Sorry,

Been away on vacation when your post first came in. Jeff's last posting
on this thread includes a search whose result is text that lists what
looks like a legit email for Ron Baalke. I've not tried it because I
have no reason to, but you could give it a try.

Please follow up and let us know if you obtained what you were looking for.

Charter for the group "sci.space.news" or at least the CFV can be found
here in news.groups:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!se...o/VWY_T_XvP5wJ

Further follow-up on this group about moderation & posting policy was
discussed (only briefly) he (Hi Fred!)

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!se...A/4ymrZkGefU0J

Only did the briefest of searches, but so far cannot find an FAQ for
this group. However, based on past practices it would seem the
moderation policy is only for postings originating from the moderator at
NASA/JPL. Make sense given the semi-official character of the postings
there.

Seems current practice is to use this group for (policy) discussions
concerning topics you might run across there.

One of the reasons why I could not find the RFD on sci.space.news was
because it began life proposed as sci.space.announce!

Here is the RFD for what eventually became sci.space.news:
