I have been sending and receiving messages for a
rather short time.  I have no concept at all how
these messages are routed, what is Bitnet, what is
UUCP, what is Internet, how are path names developed
for e-mail, how are newsgroups created, etc.  
In short, I am simply a naive user.

Does anyone have the time to send me a tutorial
about these mysteries?  For that matter, does
anyone know where I can learn about them on my own?

Thanks in advance.
