Brief history of can.org.cusen
----------------------------------------------

CUSEN, which stands for Canadian unified student environmental network, was 
formed in 1990. It has been growing ever since. It was decided at the last 
 meeting of the Atlantic Canada section of CUSEN that a newsgroup would be the 
best idea for a means of communciation. A proposal was put on and there was 
much positive response within can.config.

2. Relevance: Before Posting on can.org.cusen
----------------------------------------------------

Consider if your post is relevant

Question:
Is this a newsgroup to post general questions on environmental concerns?

This newsgroup is mainly for discussion of CUSEN ideas. Mainly what activities 
student environmental groups can carry out, the sharing of ideas of what 
groups can do and hopefully inform more students about environmental issues 
that affect everyone. Environmental concerns can be brought up if it is felt 
that they pertain to the student sector of the population. Other groups where 
environmental discussions are carried out include talk.environment and 
sci.environment.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
3. How do I access can.org.cusen?
---------------------------------------------------------------------

As one of over 10.000 Usenet newsgroups, can.org.cusen is accessible on almost 
all servers in Canada and on some servers outside Canada. If you are new to 
the internet and are unable to locate th can.org.cusen newsgroup you are 
encouraged to e-mail your server's Administrator (postmaster@[your server}) 
and request the news group directly. Some servers carry only a limited number 
of usenet's newsgroups, so be patient, persistent, or consider  opening an 
account on another server that has can.org.cusen aleady.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. How many Students are there in Canada who are involed with CUSEN?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I do not know this number. This is one reason which we need a medium for 
dicussion. I am sure there are students around Canada who are involved with 
CUSEN but never communciate with other members. We hope through this newsgroup 
to reach more of the members.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. What i a "Kill File"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's a way to automatically filter out articles you don't want to see.

eg., if you are using your TIN editor to filter out articles on the Usenet by 
annoying @name.com (annoyingman):

	Start reading the newsgroup.
	Preess CTRL-K to edit your KILL file for the newsgroup.
	Add the folowwing line to the file:

		/annoying@name/h : j
The next time you start reading the newsgroup, rn will check each of the new 
articles, and junk any of the containing the string "Annoying@foo" in its 
header. So you'll never see any articles that "Annoying" posts.

If you also want to filter out any followups that other people post to 
Annoying's articles, use the folowwing line instead:
		/annoying@name/a : j
This command will junk any articles containing the string "annoying@name" 
anywhere in the article. 

---------------------------------------------------------------
6. What to do about threats/internet abuse?
-----------------------------------------------------------------

(Taked from the soc.culture.asian.americian FAQ's):

If someone is harassing you via e-mail let the Administrator 
(postmaster@[offender's server]) of the offender's server, and if necessary, 
contact your own system administrator if the situation persists.

mail-bombins is frowned upon by system administrators and, like death threats, 
is an infraction of "nettiquite" rules. Likewise, do not mail-bimb others.
