2.   News groups

2.3   How do I find the right newsgroup?

Your news software should maintain a searchable list of almost 40,000 or so newsgroups that are available through Demon. Turnpike users should note that typing * before a search term will find newsgroups that contain the term anywhere in their names. For example, *music will find newsgroup names that include the word music.

A detailed explanation of many newsgroup hierarchies can be found at

and descriptions of many newsgroups are available in the package
