What is usenet?

USENET is a worldwide system of discussion groups in which millions of people participate. There are tens of thousands of different Usenet groups, and anyone on the Internet may participate for free.

Usenet was originally designed to carry local news between two universities in North Carolina. For this reason, Usenet groups are often referred to as NEWSGROUPS, even though, today, they are used as public forums for discussions. Similarly, Usenet itself is sometimes referred to as THE NEWS or NETNEWS.

Within each newsgroup, people send messages, called ARTICLES, for other people to read. Once an article is sent to a group, anyone in the world may read it.

Note: Mod requires that you have a Newsgroup account from which to make your postings from. I utilize www.giganews.com (Their cheapest plan) and it works wonders.
