UseNet News

Last changed 1995.01.21


The UseNet news groups are a large resource which has been made available from the communications of various discussion lists. Consequently, there is a mine of information to be quaried from this facet of the Internet.

Group headings

We have divided this heading into three sections, moving from the most to the least relevant. Selecting a group in which you are interested will present a look up table of current topics under discussion within that group.

Hints on using specific news groups

Each news group has its own area of expertise and going outside this area could bring down the wrath of the regulars. They like to keep the topic tight and you should check to see if the subject you want to discuss is pertinent to the particular group.

It is to your own advantage to ensure you have the right group for your posting as you will get a better answer from those experienced in the subject than from someone who is merely acquainted with the topic.
