  16 October 1986.  There are three basic subcategories of netwide 
! newsgroups:  "net",  "mod" and "talk".  The "talk" category is the
! first part of a co-ordinated renaming of newsgroups being done by the
! "backbone" and associated sites.  Within a few months, the "net"
! distribution will cease to exist, and there will be a set of new
! top-level divisions which will imply organization rather than
! distribution.  The "mod" groups will eventually undergo conversion into
! the same name space.

  16 October 1986.  There are three basic subcategories of netwide 
! newsgroups:  "net",  "mod" and the new categories.  The "net" groups
! are based on the old naming convention for newsgroups, and these are
! graducally being phased into the new classification categories of
! "news", "soc", "talk", "misc", "sci", "comp" and "rec".  The "talk"
! classification is fully established as of this publication, and the
! "soc" groups now exist in parallel with their old "net" counterparts.
! "sci" newsgroups are intended to be technical in nature, and relate to
! the sciences.  The "misc" groups address themes not easily classified
! under any of the other headings.  The "mod" groups will eventually
! undergo conversion into the same name space.
