ME TOO!! ME TOO!!  I'm fairly new (although I have learned a lot in the short
time I've been involved), but I think I'm also a potential gate to other posters
and need to know as much as possible about the intricacies of netnews as well as
mail paths and aliases (for example, one of my users asked if i knew the path
to kodak from here and the best i could do was ask him to call the user he
wanted to contact and find out that way).  As you can see I'd appreciate any
and all help as well as literture to read or even classes offered in this
area.

thankyou,
