$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / Dear Emily: \ | | | I'm still confused as to what groups | | articles should be posted to. How about | | an example? | | | | -- Still Confused | | | | 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. | | | | -- Emily Postnews Answers Your | \ Questions on Netiquette / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
