abreviating newsgroup names
I've got a suggestion. Avoid over-abreviating newsgroups. I've finally
discovered that net.db is not net.databases but net.deadbaby (should be
net.jokes.deadbaby?) and net.swl is net.short-wave-listeners (should be
something under net.ham-radio like net.ham-radio.listeners?). To the newcomer
this can be very confusing!!
