Top Document: Introduction to news.announce Previous Document: news.announce.newgroups Next Document: news.answers See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge This group is for periodic postings that should be read by all new Usenet members, to educate themselves about the Usenet community, its norms, guidelines and mechanisms. Introductory messages like this one will be repeated every month, in order to reach all newcomers. These messages will be placed in news.announce.newusers, which is a moderated newsgroup. This makes it safe for experienced users who have already read these messages to unsubscribe to news.announce.newusers without missing anything new in news.announce.important. If you aren't familiar with the netnews guidelines in news.announce.newusers, please read them carefully. Your understanding of these rules will assure that you don't annoy the more than 3 million members of the net community (estimated) by unintentionally abusing the net, and will help you get more value from the net. This group does not accept postings from users (although the moderator is usually willing to entertain suggestions for edits and additions to existing postings). In addition to the periodic re-posting of these messages in news.announce.newusers, changes to the news.announce.newusers postings will be posted to news.misc; this allows experienced users to just follow the differences. After reading the postings in news.announce.newusers, newcomers can refer to the lists of newsgroups, mailing lists and periodic informational postings in news.lists.misc.
