	There actually is a FAQ for it (I sent the original requester a copy
via email) or at least for the bc.* groups in general. As the FAQ suggests this
is not a general discussion group (no matter what it has become) so please do
not post in here.

        Introduction to the British Columbia Regional Newsgroups
                      Periodic Information Posting
                   (Last changed: December 11, 1995)
          ===================================================
      
      
      
      
      This  message  describes the British Columbia regional news-
      group hierarchy. It is automatically posted  on  a  periodic
      basis  to  selected  British  Columbia regional Usenet news-
      groups. Questions or comments about this message  should  be
      sent  to  the  author  via  e-mail.   Suggestions on ways to
      improve this document are encouraged.
      
      Following is a list of the currently active British Columbia
      area newsgroups:
      
      
      bc.general
           This  is  a general purpose catch-all group for discus-
           sions that don't have a more specific newsgroup. Please
           do  not crosspost articles to bc.general and one of the
           special purpose groups as this defeats the  whole  pur-
           pose of having separate newsgroups for differing topics
           of discussion.
      
      bc.bcnet
           Messages concerning the operational status of the BCnet
           network,  including  notices  of  downtime  and network
           reconfiguration. The bcnet-tech mailing list  is  gate-
           wayed  to  this newsgroup, however the newsgroup is not
           gatewayed back to the mailing list.
      
      bc.cycling
           Traveling British Columbia on  less  than  four  wheels
           (human powered only).
      
      bc.jobs
           Postings  about jobs: offered and wanted. This group is
           for jobs in B.C. *only*! There  are  other  forums  for
           other  areas. (See can.jobs and the misc.jobs newsgroup
           hierarchy if you're looking for  something  outside  of
           B.C.)
      
      bc.news.stats
           Daily summaries of Usenet traffic flow through regional
           news hub sites.  This information helps  news  adminis-
           trators spot problems with Usenet connectivity. (Pretty
           dry reading unless you're into this stuff ...) This  is
           not  a  discussion  group - don't post general articles
           here.
      
      bc.politics
           Tips on running a bingo hall, and anything else related
           to  the  wacky political arena in Lotusland. Please try
           to keep political discussions out  of  the  other  bc.*
           groups.
      
      bc.unix
           All things pertaining to the One True Operating System.
      
      bc.weather
           Automated postings of Environment Canada weather  fore-
           casts.
      
      
      Usenet  works best when everyone respects the topic focus of
      the discussion area.  Please don't post messages to inappro-
      priate  newsgroups. Further information on posting etiquette
      (and Usenet in  general)  can  be  found  in  the  newsgroup
      news.announce.newusers.
