newsgroup
     
         One of {Usenet}'s huge collection of topic groups
        or {fora}.  {Usenet} groups can be "unmoderated" (anyone can
        post) or "moderated" (submissions are automatically directed
        to a {moderator}, who edits or filters and then posts the
        results).  Some newsgroups have parallel {mailing list}s for
        {Internet} people with no netnews access, with postings to the
        group automatically propagated to the list and vice versa.
        Some moderated groups (especially those which are actually
        gatewayed {Internet} {mailing lists}) are distributed as
        "{digest}s", with groups of postings periodically collected
        into a single large posting with an index.
     
        Among the best-known are comp.lang.c (the {C}-language forum),
        comp.arch (on computer architectures), comp.Unix.wizards (for
        {Unix wizard}s), rec.arts.sf-lovers (for science-fiction
        fans), and talk.politics.misc (miscellaneous political
        discussions and {flamage}).
     
        Barry Shein  is alleged to have said,
        "Remember the good old days when you could read all the group
        names in one day?"  This gives a good idea of the growth and
        size of {Usenet}.
     
        See also {netiquette}.
