This is The Usenet: Basic Usenet News and Facts

These link is posted with intention to facilitate for people that wants 
the real Usenet, sometimes called News experience and avoid the Google 
web interface.

Some basic primers:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet_newsgroup>

Here you can find some software:

I would recommend the free Thunderbird client for inexperienced users:

Hook yourself up! Here are some free and premium NNTP/Usenet servers:

<http://www.freeusenetnews.com/>

<https://usenetreviewz.com/free-usenet/usenet-access/>

This free server seem to function consistently:

<http://news.aioe.org/>

Note that free servers are paid by someone and that you might not know 
their reasons for doing that.

Remember to be civil! The basic Netiquette for the Usenet is rather 
simple:

Post as your parents, children, spouse,  minister or employer can read 
it without you being embarrassed or sued…

Read the charters if in doubt what’s apropriate for a certain group:

There are, of course more elaborate opinions on the subject but beyond 
law and charters for different groups those are subject for debate. You 
can find some of them here though:

Feel free to repost or bump this to any text group under any name but 
mine as long as it’s not altered…
