They had no reason to specifically mention advertising because
"no advertising" existed at a higher level than a newsgroup charter.
If a charter doesn't say "no advertising"
that still doesn't mean advertising is allowed,
it just means the charter didn't mention it.

I really like the way Black explains these things.

[...]In the old days, [when] you'd get your internet access[...]

Now, people stumble on "google groups" and post away,
without any of the handholding, or knowledge before the deed.

It 's a shame Google doesn't make people click thru this page

Let's get it straight. If some guy walks down the street
and tosses his litter on the sidewalk, he's the antisocial one.
Anyone who tells him to stop is not being rude or antisocial,
they are the responsible ones.

Thank you for your support.
