This article is from the Dragonlance FAQ, by Stig Erik Sandø stig@ii.uib.no with numerous contributions by others.
a. ? Why have Dragonlance got it's own newsgroup?
* Because many people on the Net like to discuss Dragonlance-topics
* and someone established one many years ago.
b. ? What is a Dragonlance topic?
* A topic that is strongly related to Dragonlance... duh! Which means
* that Forgotten Realms, AD&D, Michael Jackson nor multiple
* inheritance in C++ is accepted in here. (Forgotten Realms and AD&D
* please use rec.games.frp.dnd, Michael Jackson discussions are for
* alt.washing.even.whiter and c++ is in comp.lang.c++ )
c. ? What other newsgroups allow Dragonlance discussions?
* alt.fan.dragons have been known to allow them if they're about
* dragons. alt.fan.fantasy is for discussion of fantasy in general and
* might allow a discussion of Dragonlance in relation to other fantasy
* novels.
d. ? What kind of people read/post to the newsgroup?
* All sorts of people; males, females, gays, heteros, asians,
* europeans, americans, purists, liberals, conservatives, rednecks,
* kids, old people, students, authors, rich people, poor people, and
* so on. The only thing everyone have in common is an
* interest for Dragonlance. This makes for an interesting forum :-)
e. ? Can I post my fanfic in the newsgroup?
* If it is related to Dragonlance, yes. Be aware of copyright laws and
* what your rights is when you post it.
f. ? Can I be sued for posting anything in here?
* Yes. Normal laws apply in here, so be nice. Do not encourage people
* to do criminal acts, don't be too rude to people and you'll probably
* be just fine.
