| I'm still confused as to what groups    |
| articles should be posted to. How about |
| an example?                             |

| Dear Still:                             |
|                                         |
| 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.              |
|                                         |
