14 Where can I go for more information on netiquette, and on Usenet in general?
One of the best places to start has always been the newsgroup
news.announce.newusers. This group is home to a wide range of articles
that provide introductory information about many aspects of Usenet
news. Unfortunately, most of these articles are no longer being posted
regularly to the group. It may be more effective to read archived
copies of them at
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.announce.newusers/
Read the "Welcome to Usenet!" article there first.
The information on netiquette and on Usenet in general in the
news.announce.newusers articles remains very relevant today, but those
articles are several years old. More recent information on similar
topics can be found at the web sites associated with the
news.newusers.questions newsgroup. A list of these sites around the
world can be found at

(among many other places).
