I read an article by Mark R. Horton from Bell Labs called How to Read the Network News. A quote from that article reads: "USENET is useful in a number of ways. Someone wishing to announce a new program or product can reach a wide audience." This seemed to me to be a license for commercialism. Is this article out of date? Is there available a publication along the lines of "Miss Manners Guide to the Network"?
