CHARTER:

soc.support.stroke is an unmoderated newsgroup where stroke survivors,
their relatives, friends, caregivers, and professionals in the field can
share experiences and exchange ideas on how to cope with the effects of
stroke.  Posters are expected to abide by normal Usenet standards of
decorum - for example, bottom posting will be the norm, and lurking for a
while before posting is advisable - and to refrain from sending articles
intended to disrupt the group.

The following are not allowed:

  - Personal advertisements
  - Commercial advertisements and money-making schemes
  - Chain letters
  - HTML
  - Threats and/or advocation of violence
  - Binaries, except PGP signatures, X-Face headers, and other
    ancillary meta-data
  - Personal attacks
