The Usenet consists of several millions using a variety of computer networks and software
to communicate with each other. It is divided into many thousands of newsgroups - groups of
folk who share the interest in a certain range of topics. As an introduction, you can read the
material in news.newusers.questions
and news.announce.newusers. Also available
for most are the so-called FAQ file (frequently asked questions and answers) for that topic.
If you plan to participate in a newsgroup, however, it is advisable that you first read some hints and rules. Recommended reading includes the article, Please, read this before posting, in news.newusers.questions as well as everything you find in news.announce.newusers.
