Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Tips & Warnings

• There are newsgroups for different age groups.
• You can find newsgroups on cooking, cars, music or just about anything you can think of.
• There is a newsgroup that discusses WebTV-related subjects only.
• You can choose a newsgroup with a moderator or without one. In a moderated newsgroup, all postings are sent to a moderator, who decides whether the postings are appropriate for the group before posting them. In a newsgroup without a moderator, postings go up immediately, whether or not they are related to the group's theme. Moderated newsgroups are best for pure information, while newsgroups without moderators can be wilder.
