Usenet News is the on-line community's forum for public discussion and announcements. The system is made up of many thousands of different "news groups" (or just "groups" for short) which cover different topics. See the article "What is Usenet?" and the associated second opinion for details.

News has its own culture -- which it is important that you understand if you are going to participate. Before you make any postings you should read the advice to beginners which is available in the group "news.announce.newusers". Read the groups that you intend to post to for a while before jumping in and making a fool of yourself!
