It is apt to be different from what you are using to access electronic mail or the World Wide Web. Security considerations - Be very careful about participating in news groups. All messages to news groups are archived. For example, Deja News is a private company that makes everything available to the public. There are techniques for disguising yourself, but a detailed discussion of this is beyond the scope of the NCFM site.
News groups are an excellent source of finding help and getting the answers to questions.
You can also use them to post relevant documents that can be used by others. The length of time a document or message will be available on a news group server is limited, but Daja News will ensure that it stays available for eternity. We do not allow you to access news groups from this page, because to do so you would have to use our internet server. Instead, copy the names and key them into your browser or news group program. This will cause your internet service provider to do the look-up.
