It is divided into        hierarchies, with the major divisions being: sci - science related        discussions; comp - computer related discussions; news - for        discussions which center around NetNews itself; rec - recreational        activities; soc - social issues; talk - long-winded never-ending        discussions; biz - business related postings; and alt - the       alternate        hierarchy. Alt is so named because creating an alt group does not       go        through the same process as creating a group in the other parts of        the hierarchy. There are also regional hierarchies, hierarchies        which are widely distributed such as Bionet, and your place of        business may have its own groups as well. Recently, a "humanities"        hierarchy was added, and as time goes on its likely more will be        added. For longer discussions on News see references [2,8,22,23]       in        the Selected Bibliography.               - In NetNews parlance, "Posting" refers to posting a new article        to a group, or responding to a post someone else has posted.        "Cross-Posting" refers to posting a message to more than one        group. If you introduce Cross-Posting to a group, or if you        direct "Followup-To:" in the header of your posting, warn        readers! Readers will usually assume that the message was        posted to a specific group and that followups will go to        that group. Headers change this behavior.               - Read all of a discussion in progress (we call this a thread)        before posting replies. Avoid posting "Me Too" messages,        where content is limited to agreement with previous posts.        Content of a follow-up post should exceed quoted content.               - Send mail when an answer to a question is for one person only.        Remember that News has global distribution and the whole world        probably is NOT interested in a personal response. However,       don't        hesitate to post when something will be of general interest to       the        Newsgroup participants.               - Check the "Distribution" section of the header, but don't        depend on it. Due to the complex method by which News is        delivered, Distribution headers are unreliable. But, if you        are posting something which will be of interest to a limited        number or readers, use a distribution line that attempts to        limit the distribution of your article to those people. For        example, set the Distribution to be "nj" if you are posting        an article that will be of interest only to New Jersey readers.               - If you feel an article will be of interest to more than one        Newsgroup, be sure to CROSSPOST the article rather than       individually        post it to those groups. In general, probably only five-to-six        groups will have similar enough interests to warrant this.               - Consider using Reference sources (Computer Manuals, Newspapers,        help files) before posting a question. Asking a Newsgroup where        answers are readily available elsewhere generates grumpy "RTFM"        (read the fine manual - although a more vulgar meaning of the        word beginning with "f" is usually implied) messages.               - Although there are Newsgroups which welcome advertising,        in general it is considered nothing less than criminal        to advertise off-topic products. Sending an advertisement        to each and every group will pretty much guarantee your loss of        connectivity.               - If you discover an error in your post, cancel it as soon as        possible.               - DO NOT attempt to cancel any articles but your own. Contact        your administrator if you don't know how to cancel your post,        or if some other post, such as a chain letter, needs canceling.               - If you've posted something and don't see it immediately,        don't assume it's failed and re-post it.               - Some groups permit (and some welcome) posts which in other        circumstances would be considered to be in questionable taste.        Still, there is no guarantee that all people reading the group        will appreciate the material as much as you do. Use the Rotate        utility (which rotates all the characters in your post by 13        positions in the alphabet) to avoid giving offense. The        Rot13 utility for Unix is an example.               - In groups which discuss movies or books it is considered       essential        to mark posts which disclose significant content as "Spoilers".        Put this word in your Subject: line. You may add blank lines to        the beginning of your post to keep content out of sight, or you        may Rotate it.               - Forging of news articles is generally censured. You can protect        yourself from forgeries by using software which generates a        manipulation detection "fingerprint", such as PGP (in the US).               - Postings via anonymous servers are accepted in some Newsgroups        and disliked in others. Material which is inappropriate when        posted under one's own name is still inappropriate when posted        anonymously.               - Expect a slight delay in seeing your post when posting to a        moderated group. The moderator may change your subject        line to have your post conform to a particular thread.               - Don't get involved in flame wars. Neither post nor respond        to incendiary material.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
