Introduction
------------
The Usenet software allows the support and transport of hierarchies of
newsgroups not part of the "traditional" Usenet through use of the
distribution mechanism. These hierarchies of groups are available to
sites wishing to support them and finding a feed. In general, these
groups are not carried by the entire network because of their volume,
restricted spheres of interest, or a different set of administrative
rules and concerns.
In general, it is a bad idea to forward these newsgroups to your
neighbors without asking them first; they should only be received at a
site by choice. Not only is this generally-accepted net etiquette, it
helps to preserve the freedom to do and say as the posters please in
these newsgroups, as the only people who get them are those who asked
to get them. This freedom is more restricted in the Usenet as a
whole, because every mainstream posting and every mainstream newsgroup
name must be acceptable to a much wider audience than is present in
these hierarchies. Because of the sheer size of the mainstream
Usenet, extra-long or controversial postings are more likely to cause
problems when posted to the Usenet; however, these alternative
hierarchies exist precisely to support those kinds of postings (if
germane to the hierarchy).
Usually, there is is no restriction on getting these groups as long
as you have the capacity to receive, store, and forward the groups;
2.10.3 or 2.11 news is required to make the distribution mechanism
work properly for these groups. How to join each distribution is
described below.
Note that the "uunet" service carries all of these hierarchies.
Contact uunet!uunet-request for subscription details.
Also note -- the lists in this article are totally unofficial and
possibly incomplete or inaccurate. I try to keep the lists up-to-date,
but make no guarantee that any of the information contained corresponds
with the named groups in any significant way. Corrections and comments
should be mailed directly to me.
