    soc.penpals is an unmoderated newsgroup which passed its vote for
    creation by 311:48 as reported in news.announce.newgroups on 7 May 1992.

    For your newsgroups file:
    soc.penpals In search of net.friendships.

    The charter, culled from the call for votes:

    This newsgroup is to make it possible for people on the net to
    make friends and penpals. This will also give people a chance to have
    correspondents in other places of the world, which is helpful for
    travel and tourism. Included will be postings of information about
    people interested in becoming a penpal and also general
    information/questions about certain geographical locations are also
    accepted.
