I am fairly new on this net and, as such, am still unclear on some
of the protocols. Perhaps an oldtimer would help me on this one.

The question is this: "Is this the appropriate newsgroup for selling
hardware?". I guess it was a "UNIX QUESTION". But still I wander ... .

When I tried to respond from rn with the 'F' option, I got an
error. I assume that this was do to the way the message was posted.
The Newsgroup was filled in as follows: "Newsgroups: poster".

Do people often use "poster" as their entry for Newsgroup? If so
can anyone tell me why?

Thanx.
