A: A newsgroup is a collection of messages posted by individuals
to a news server. News servers are computers maintained by companies, groups, and
individuals, and can host thousands of newsgroups.
You can find newsgroups on practically any subject. Although some newsgroups are
monitored, most are not, and messages can be "posted" and read
by anyone who has access to that group. There are no newsgroup membership lists or joining
fees.
In order to access our news server you must specify "news.imagenisp.com"
as your news server, in your news reader program. After you have configured the news
server, you can read and post messages on any of the newsgroups stored on the news server.
When you find a newsgroup you like, you can "subscribe" to
it so that it is displayed in your newsgroup list. Then you don't have to scroll through
the long list of newsgroups on the server to find what you want.
