$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / Q: How can I choose what groups to post \ | in? ... Q: How about an example? | | | | A: Ok. Let's say you want to report | | that Gretzky has been traded from the | | Oilers to the Kings. Now right away you | | might think rec.sport.hockey would be | | enough. WRONG. Many more people might | | be interested. This is a big trade! | | Since it's a NEWS article, it belongs | | in the news.* hierarchy as well. If you | | are a news admin, or there is one on | | your machine, try news.admin. If not, | | use news.misc. | | | | The Oilers are probably interested in | | geology, so try sci.physics. He is a | | big star, so post to sci.astro, and | | sci.space because they are also | | interested in stars. Next, his name is | | Polish sounding. So post to | | soc.culture.polish. But that group | | doesn't exist, so cross-post to | | news.groups suggesting it should be | | created. With this many groups of | | interest, your article will be quite | | bizarre, so post to talk.bizarre as | | well. (And post to comp.std.mumps, | | since they hardly get any articles | | there, and a "comp" group will | | propagate your article further.) | | | | You may also find it is more fun to | | post the article once in each group. If | | you list all the newsgroups in the same | | article, some newsreaders will only | | show the the article to the reader | | once! Don't tolerate this. | | | | -- Brad Templeton, _Emily Postnews | \ Answers Your Questions on Netiquette_ / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
