As someone relatively new to the net, could some kind soul please
explain some net terms to me? E.g. I now found a group alt.sources.amiga
where there also exists a comp.sys.amiga.sources (if I'm not in error).
Q: What's the difference?????
As far as I understand, the rec.* groups mean "recreation".
Is there a file explaining these general terms that someone might mail
to me?
Thanks in advance.
