Net gives you access to any of the newsgroups available to them, except for a few because of their illegal content. These groups are collected together under sub-headings known as a hierarchy. A FAQ is a list of the answers to the questions that appear on the group over and over again. They can be a very good starting point for research into a topic as they will often have details of where to go for more information.
