It is intended to be read by everyone on Usenet, although nobody is forced to subscribe. To post to net.announce, send mail to the moderator at "cbosgd!announce". If the message is appropriate, it will be posted by the moderator; if not, the moderator will suggest a more appropriate place to post it or a better way to go about the same goal. Discussions in net.announce are explicitly forbidden, and the volume of traffic will be kept low enough to keep people from feeling a need to unsubscribe. Usenet administrators for each site should make a point of reading net.announce. Some messages will be repeated every month, in order to reach all newcomers. These messages will be placed in net.announce.newusers, which is also moderated. This makes it safe for experienced users who have already read these messages to unsubscribe to net.announce.newusers without missing anything new in net.announce. If you aren't familiar with the netnews guidelines in net.announce.newusers, please read them carefully. Your understanding of these rules will assure that you don't annoy the 10,000+ members of the net community by unintentionally abusing the net, and will help you get more value from the net.
