Where can I get more information about the internet/usenet?
For more info about usenet news, you might want to subscribe to the news group news.announce.newusers and news.newusers.questions. These are groups devoted to people who are new to using usenet news. Be aware that in some newsgroups, people are not very tolerant of “new user” mistakes or questions. It’s usually a good idea to ride along and just read postings for a while, to get a feel for how the particular newsgroup works. After you’re familiar with what goes on, feel free to post. Also, if you use America Online, the greater usenet community will be less likely to tolerate mistakes you make just because of your address. Sad, but true.. There are many good books on the Internet.
