Today's articles will come directly after yesterday's articles so if you skip a day reading ClariNews, the articles will be easy to find when you get back to the news. Most articles will be deleted from one to three weeks after they are issued, depending on the way your computer system is set up. You can assume any set of words separated by periods is a newsgroup. A common analogy is that newsgroup names are like a tree. The major branches include clari.living, clari.world, clari.biz and clari.news.
Articles are like leaves on the tree.
Sometimes a branch will have smaller branches attached to it, but no leaves. For example, there are no articles in clari.local, clari.news or clari.usa. These aren't really newsgroups at all, but just placeholders for newsgroups with longer names. The header contains a great deal of information about how the news software should treat the article. It also contains the headline of the article, the name and organization of the author, and the date and time it was received at ClariNet.
