The groups distributed worldwide are divided into seven broad classifications: "news", "soc", "talk", "misc", "sci", "comp" and "rec". Each of these classifications is organized into groups and subgroups according to topic. "comp" Topics of interest to both computer professionals and hobbyists, including topics in computer science, software source, and information on hardware and software systems. "sci" Discussions intended as technical in nature and relating to the established sciences. "misc" Groups addressing themes not easily classified under any of the other headings or which incorporate themes from multiple categories. "soc" Groups primarily addressing social issues and socializing. "talk" Groups largely debate-oriented and tending to feature long discussions without resolution and without appreciable amounts of generally useful information. "news" Groups concerned with the news network and software themselves. "rec" Groups oriented towards hobbies and recreational activities. These "world" newsgroups are (usually) circulated around the entire USENET -- this implies world-wide distribution. Not all groups actually enjoy such wide distribution, however. The European Usenet sites (Eunet) take only a selected subset of the more "technical" groups, and controversial "noise" groups are often not carried by many sites in the US and Canada (these groups are primarily under the "talk" and "soc" classifications). There are groups in other subcategories, but they are local: to institutions, to geographic regions, etc. and they are not listed here. Note that these distribution categories can be used to restrict the propagation of news articles. Currently, distributions include: world worldwide distribution (default) att limited to AT&T can limited to Canada eunet limited to European sites na limited to North America usa limited to the United States There may be other regional and local distribution categories available at your site. Most US states have distribution categories named after the two letter abbreviation for that state or category (e.g., "ga" for Georgia, "nj" for New Jersey). Please use an appropriate distribution category if your article is not likely to be of interest to USENET readers worldwide. Some groups are moderated or are monitored mailing lists. They can only be posted to by mailing submissions to the coordinator (provided in a companion posting). Some selected sites provide automatic remailing in support of 2.11 news -- posting to one of these groups automatically mails the article for the poster. Some of the moderated groups are gatewayed to USENET from the ARPA Internet and appear as newsgroups to facilitate distribution and posting from the Usenet. Other of the "world" groups are bidirectionally gatewayed with ARPA Internet mailing lists; items submitted from the ARPA side to the digest are split up and submitted to the USENET group, while articles submitted on the USENET side are bundled up and submitted to the mailing list. A complete list of moderated newsgroups, submission addresses and moderators is given in a companion posting. The following "world" groups have been gatewayed with the listed Arpa Internet lists. Some of them may not still be gatewayed due to broken software and/or gateways; such groups are marked with an asterisk ("*") in the list below. Please contact me if you should know of their current status. Also note that the group "comp.lang.forth" is gatewayed with the Bitnet discussion list "umforth@weizmann.bitnet".

Written 6:49 am Jun 1, 1987 by usenet@gatech.edu in news.announce.newusers Note title: List of Moderators Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@gatech.edu) [Most recent change: 31 May 1987 by spaf@gatech.edu] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussions in comp.std.mumps and comp.std.c fall into this category. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements.

A mailing list is different from a newsgroup because you do not receive anything unless you specifically request it. To be added to a mailing list, please mail a note to the contact for that list, listed below. Some of the lists mentioned may be available as limited-distribution newsgroups. Contact the administrator for exact details. Please note the following caveats: publication of a list here does not guarantee that you will be allowed to join as a member. That is up to the moderator and readers, and they have the right to restrict access to their list as they see fit. Mailing lists use MUCH less system overhead on a world-wide basis but do tend to increase loading on the moderators' machines so the number of people that can be added to a list may be limited by machine resources as well. If you have a list that you want added to this posting or are interested in starting a list but don't know how, drop me a note at spaf@gatech.edu Groups listed in this posting mail.12step mail.alternates mail.amiga-minix mail.anime mail.auto mail.blues mail.christian mail.clu mail.compress mail.desktop mail.elm mail.esperanto mail.feminists mail.firearms mail.gnu-manual mail.handicapped mail.horse mail.info-encore mail.info-gnu mail.info-sendmail mail.info-futures mail.info-tahoe mail.interleaf mail.isi mail.jazz mail.jewish mail.kites mail.larn mail.lucid mail.martial-arts mail.medphys mail.men mail.mtxinu-users mail.new-age mail.ocean.policy mail.OtherRealms mail.pro-video mail.sco-xenix mail.scribe mail.security mail.supercomputers mail.sysops mail.tartan-c mail.teehee mail.transputer mail.VMEbus mail.whitewater mail.wildnet mail.wobegon mail.zilog ug.bizarre Specific Information on Groups mail.12step Contact {decvax,ihnp4,ucbvax,sdcrdcf}!trwrb!suhre (Maurice Suhre) Purpose: To discuss/share experiences about 12 step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, Alanon, ACA, etc. Questions will also be answered. mail.alternates Contact: alternates@tekla.tek.com -or- tektronix!tekla!alternates (Hank Buurman) Purpose: Mail.alternates is an e-mail group of people who advocate, and/or practice an open sexual lifestyle.
