Is there documentation available anywhere (and if so, please explain in detail how I can get it) that gives a good introduction to News? Usenet? (Are they the same thing?) What are all these other nets I see mentioned when I read the News? Help! I'm seriously confused. How can an individual not attached to a university tap into this network? I've been fumbling my way through this News (which I love) for a couple of months now, but still have only a rudimentary idea of what I'm doing. Does everyone have this much trouble or is there something wrong with me?
