Whoever is providing you with access to Usenet should be able to give you some basic introduction or instruction. This isn't because they are necessarily nice, but because if they don't at least attempt to tell you the basics then they can't blame you when you do something awful. If they haven't offered you any advice or instruction then ask someone responsible for some pointers to useful information. I advise you not to ask another newcomer -- that is a great way to propagate misconceptions. There are many introductory books about the global Internet and Usenet. If you learn well from books then you might consider buying one or borrowing it from a library. Some books are available for free, others are available for sampling online as an enticement to get you to buy them. For a fuller discussion of such books see a) the misc.books.technical newsgroup, b) the Unofficial Internet Book List at the rtfm.mit.edu FTP site (filename `book-list' in the directory `pub/usenet/news.answers/internet-services') that's written <URL:ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/> in the standard notation. See question 5.2.4 for more information about the rtfm.mit.edu FTP site.
