This article is from the NewlyWed FAQ, by Vicky Larmour vicky@jifvik.org with numerous contributions by others.

1.3) What topics belong on alt.newlywed?

Topics should generally be related to the unique experiences that
come with the early years of marriage. There also is a legitimate and
valued element of "staying in touch" with other graduates from the
wedding newsgroups. Alt.newlywed is not a wedding planning group, and
wedding or honeymoon planning questions do not belong here.

Alt.newlywed is also not a general marriage support group; people looking
for support for marriage problems should turn to alt.support.marriage.
Pregnancy, babies and infertility are topics that inevitably crop up
when a group of newlyweds get together! After a discussion on the group at
the beginning of September 1999, it was agreed that threads that are solely
about these and related issues should be labelled (eg by putting [Preg] in
the Subject: header) so that people who are not interested can skip over
those threads. If these threads start to overwhelm the group, we will
consider setting up a sub group such as alt.newlywed.pregnancy, but for the
moment the majority preference is that these discussions should stay in
the main group.

It is an oft-noted alt.newlywed phenomenon that any given thread will
eventually mutate into a thread about cats. Further research is
necessary to establish precisely why this is. :-)
