Got the following email from the administrators of news.cis.dfn.de after
asking them to include the canb.* hierarchy on their fine news servers.
Does anyone know some or all of the answers to the questions asked below.

> Can you please add the canb.* hierarchy to news.cis.dfn.de

We can try to take up the canb.* (Canberra, Australia) hierarchy, but
that's a rather difficult thing and we cannot guarantee success, so please
be patient. However, you can give us some help:

| 3.5.
|
| Q: Do you add complete hierarchies?
| 
| A: That is possible but depends on the hierarchy in question. Since the
|    addition of a new hierarchy gives us a lot more work than the
|    addition of groups in an existing hierarchy, it can take some time
|    until such a new hierarchy is steadily available. It speeds up the
|    process if you can give us the following information together with
|    your request:
| 
|    - Is the hierarchy freely distributable or are there restrictions?
|      If so, where can one read up on these and who can one ask?
|    - Are there any special rules (netiquette)?
|      If so, where can one read up on it? Who can one ask?
|    - Are there regular control messages?
|      If so, who is the sender and are they signed with PGP?
|    - Are there rules for the creation of new groups?
|      If so, where can one read up on these?
|    - Is there a master server?
|      If so, what is it called?
|    - Which server can we get a stable feed from?

What we know for sure is that Microsoft treated the PC hardware
platform as if it owned it, and thus hurt consumers, software developers, PC
OEMs, OS competitors, and the industry in general. That's a layman's
definition of abusing a monopoly.
