Internet Services - Newsgroups

Newsgroups and mailing lists are discussion forums that anybody can read and write to. They allow people with similar interests to create specialised discussion groups and allow others to ask questions of the experts.
Newsgroups are organised by threads so that you can watch a particular discussion develop while other discussions also continue in the same newsgroup. Messages are e-mailed to newsgroups and these are stored on a server for people anywhere in the world to read. Mailing lists are sent directly to your email account and popular lists often generate large volumes of mail.
