What exactly are people envisioning for this book? My thoughts
are that what we do *NOT* want is a compilation of FAQs because
FAQs are live documents that should be accessed via the Net. I
was imagining a book about using News with chapters like this:

* Finding FAQs (why you should never get an FAQ via a book or
CD ROM or anything static)
* Writing FAQs
* Copyrights and Disclaimers
* Publishing on the Net
* MIME and news articles
* Features you want (and don't want) in a news reader
* Comparison of news readers (Unix, Mac, Windows, etc.)
* The Web and News
* The Web and BBSes (that aren't News)
* Mailing Lists that are Linked to Newsgroups
* Archives of newsgroups
* Searching News
* What exactly is Usenet (including "Is Clarinet part of Usenet"?)
* Finding Newsgroups
* Creating Newsgroups
* etc., etc,...

What are other people thinking?
