Introduction to net.announce
use...@gatech.uucp
"net.announce" is a newsgroup for important announcements. It is
intended to be read by everyone on Usenet, although nobody is forced to
subscribe. To post to net.announce, send mail to the moderator at
"cbosgd!announce". If the message is appropriate, it will be posted by
the moderator; if not, the moderator will suggest a more appropriate
place to post it or a better way to go about the same goal.
Discussions in net.announce are explicitly forbidden, and the volume of
traffic will be kept low enough to keep people from feeling a need to
unsubscribe. Usenet administrators for each site should make a point
of reading net.announce.
Some messages will be repeated every month, in order to reach all
newcomers. These messages will be placed in net.announce.newusers,
which is also moderated. This makes it safe for experienced users who
have already read these messages to unsubscribe to
net.announce.newusers without missing anything new in net.announce. If
you aren't familiar with the netnews guidelines in
net.announce.newusers, please read them carefully. Your understanding
of these rules will assure that you don't annoy the 10,000+ members of
the net community by unintentionally abusing the net, and will help you
get more value from the net.
