-
- Many newsgroups contain articles which are posted on a periodic basis.
- These articles tend to be useful for both novice and experienced
- users, as they usually fall into one of these categories:
-
- 1. How-to articles explaining some of the basics and fine
- points of network usage, etiquette, standards, etc.
-
- 2. Introductory notes about one or more newsgroups, covering
- policies (if any) for submissions to that group, usage, etc.
- Common questions and answers pertinent to a newsgroup(s).
-
- 3. Indexes of archives, or pointers to archives for various
- groups. Periodic newsletters, calendars, pointers to
- publications.
-
- 4. Statistical information and reports about Usenet; tables of
- Usenet hosts, links, etc.
-
- 5. Miscellany, including small useful sources, "fun" lists, and so
- on.
-
- This is a list of the periodic postings known at this time; each
- posting is listed in an entry that includes who posts the article,
- which newsgroup(s) it appears in, what Subject is used, and how often
- the article is posted. The list is sorted by Newsgroups and Subject
- information. The character '*' is used as a wildcard, e.g. "v*INF1"
- matches "v01INF1", "v02INF1", etc.
-
- The Date in a posting's entry indicates, where given, when the
- posting last appeared. However, it may be inaccurate if (a) the
- maintainer of the posting has changed the Subject line, or (b) the
- most recent version has not reached my site, or (c) the entry actually
- corresponds to multiple postings because of wildcarding.
-
- The Archive-name, where present, indicates the archive name that
- appeared in the posting when it was last posted. Note that if one
- entry matches multiple postings because of wildcarding, then only one
- archive name will appear. Similarly, the Summary indicates the
- summary that appeared.
-
- Corrections and additions (via MAIL) are most welcome. New entries
- for the list should be submitted in the same form as the entries
- below, with From, Newsgroups, Subject, Frequency, and (optionally)
- Comments lines, in that order.
-
- From the summer of 1989, when this list was created, until February,
- 1992, it was maintained by Rich Kulawiec <rsk@gynko.circ.upenn.edu>.
- He has handed it over to me because my position as moderator of
- news.answers makes it easier for me to keep track of periodic
- informational postings, and because he would like to devote more time
- and energy to other efforts.
-
- Several archives of USENET periodic informational postings exist. To
- find out more about them and how to access them, see the posting
- entitled "Introduction to news.answers" in the news.answers newsgroup.
- If you do not know how to get that newsgroup and/or your site does not
- receive it and/or that article has expired in it, you can retrieve it
- via anonymous ftp from pit-manager.mit.edu [18.172.1.27] in the file
- /pub/usenet/news.answers/news-answers/introduction. If you do not
- have access to anonymous ftp, you can retrieve it by sending a mail
- message to mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu with the command "send
- usenet/news.answers/news-answers/introduction" in the message.
