Newsgroups
There are tens of thousands of news groups available via the
Internet. You can play a passive role and read what others
have to say or you can be active and respond to posted items
or post your own statements or requests. In order to post
responses or new items you must have a valid electronic mail
account and your browser must be configured with your email
address, your post office address, and the address of the
system that maintains USENET (your NEWS server) for your organization.
These can be set in Mail and News Preferences under
Options if you are using Netscape. A connection to
an Astronomy Newsgroup is given below:
Netscape allows you to request a list of all of the main
categories of Newsgroups. When you are in one of the News
groups select Show All News Groups from the Options
menu. (This may take a while, especially if you are using
a modem.) Netscape allows you to subscribe (and, fortunately,
"unsubscribe" to Newsgroups).
A
Guide To Newsgroups provides a lot of resources available
on Usenet.
The Mail,
News and Bookmarks of the Netscape Handbook is
an excellent resource.
