  The following is a list of currently active USENET newsgroups as of
! 1 December 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," "sci," and "misc" 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. "soc" groups
! address social issues.  "talk" groups are largely debate-oriented, and
! tend to feature long discussions without either resolution or large
! amounts of useful information.  "news" groups concern the news network
! and software itself. "rec" are recreation and hobby-oriented groups.
! The "mod" groups will eventually undergo conversion into the same name
! space.
  
! "net" groups consist of USENET bulletin-board newsgroups that are
! (usually) circulated around the entire USENET -- this implies
! world-wide distribution.  Not all "net" groups actually enjoy such wide
! distribution, however.  The European Usenet sites (Eunet) take only a
! selected subset of the more "technical" groups, and controversial
! "noise" groups are often not carried by many sites in the US and Canada.
  
  "mod" groups are moderated or are monitored mailing lists.  They can

  The following is a list of currently active USENET newsgroups as of
! 1 December 1986.  There are two basic subcategories of netwide 
! newsgroups:  "world" and  "mod".  The "world" groups are divided into
! seven broad classifications:  "news", "soc", "talk", "misc", "sci",
! "comp" and "rec".  Each of these classifications is organized into
! groups and subgroups according to topic.
  
! The "comp" classification includes topics of interest to computer
! professionals and hobbyists, including topics in computer science,
! software source, and information on hardware and software systems.  The
! "sci" newsgroups are intended to be technical in nature and relate to
! the established sciences.  The "misc" groups address themes not easily
! classified under any of the other headings or which incorporate themes
! from multiple categories. The "soc" groups address social issues and
! socializing.  The "talk" groups are largely debate-oriented, and tend
! to feature long discussions without resolution and without appreciable
! amounts of useful information.  The "news" groups concern the news
! network and software itself.  The "rec" groups are recreation and
! hobby-oriented groups.  An eventual goal is to include the current
! "mod" groups into the same seven category naming scheme sometime in
! 1987.
