How Newsgroups work on the Internet
A newsgroup is a discussion about a particular subject consisting of notes written to a central Internet site and redistriduted through Usenet, a worldwide network of news discussion groups.
Usenet is a massive collection of news and discussion groups. Newsgroups are organized into subject hierarchies, with the first few letters of the newsgroup name indicating the major subject categories and sub-categories.
