Thanks mam

Usenet is a world-wide distributed discussion system.  It consists of a set of "newsgroups" with names that are classified hierarchically by subject.  "Articles" or "messages" are "posted" to these newsgroups by people on computers with the appropriate software -- these articles are then broadcast to other interconnected computer systems via a wide variety of networks.  Some newsgroups are "moderated"; in these newsgroups, the articles are first sent to a moderator for approval before appearing in the newsgroup.  Usenet is available on a wide variety of computer systems and networks, but the bulk of modern Usenet traffic is transported over either the Internet or UUCP

 

Email-based discussion groups are frequently the first place a knowledgeable user will look for help when confronted with a technical problem. Precisely because users may interact directly with other users in search of a solution, discussion groups are a trove of

Information. Their open nature means that not all answers are of similar quality. In contrast, mail exchanges are much more decentralized and free-form. Anyone can email anyone about any subject. Both statements and questions are allowed; a graph of interactions between authors can contain many cycles
