Q2.6 How about more on Usenet, moderation, robo-moderation, etc.?

    If your only access to information about Usenet is Usenet itself,
    then you should look in the newsgroup news:news.answers or in the
    other *.answers newsgroups and search for Subject: lines that
    contain key words for the topic you are interested in.  Or, if you
    know which newsgroups handle that topic, look in those newsgroups
    for FAQ or "Frequent".

    If you have access to a World Wide Web browser, or to
    anonymous FTP, you can use the http or ftp URLs below.

    There are other Usenet documents available at one of several archives:

        ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/
        ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/
        ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/usenet/
        http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/usenet/

    And at any of the *.answers archives, at:

    North America:
        ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/news.answers
        ftp://mirrors.aol.com/pub/rtfm/
        ftp://ftp.seas.gwu.edu/pub/rtfm

    Europe:
        ftp://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/pub/FAQ
        ftp://ftp.Germany.EU.net/pub/newsarchive/
        ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/

    Asia:
        ftp://nctuccca.edu.tw/USENET/
        ftp://hwarang.postech.ac.kr/pub/usenet/news.answers
        ftp://ftp.hk.super.net/mirror/faqs

    and for other countries - for details see:
        ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/news-answers/introduction

    Note that since use of the Internet has grown so rapidly recently,
    the archives at uu.net and mit.edu are often heavily loaded at peak
    times and may be slow to respond, or be unavailable - if so, try the
    other archives listed above, or you may find the URLs below to have
    faster response, although they are more likely to change over time.

    As general resources for the newsgroup creation process, see:
