I'm sure that is supposed to mean something. However the word "comp.."
is quite ambiguous.

1855 Netiquette Guidelines. S. Hambridge. October 1995. (Format:
TXT=46185 bytes) (Also FYI0028) (Status: INFORMATIONAL)

3.1.1 General Guidelines for mailing lists and NetNews

- Read both mailing lists and newsgroups for one to two months before
you post anything. This helps you to get an understanding of
the culture of the group.

One to two months is a long time, and no one waits that long, but you are
posting from a search engine - one that you can set to show the last few
hundred postings.

- If you feel an article will be of interest to more than one
Newsgroup, be sure to CROSSPOST the article rather than individually
post it to those groups. In general, probably only five-to-six
groups will have similar enough interests to warrant this.

So please do NOT send the same article to multiple newsgroups. That gets
you identified as a spammer, and gets you into killfiles. That's probably
not what you are looking for. 'Crossposting' is where you set a comma
delimited list of newsgroups (again, 5 is almost certainly a limit) in the
'Newsgroups:' header. BE SURE TO SET A 'Followup-To:' header as I have done
here.

So far this year, there have been 770 articles posted to the linux.redhat
group, and 235 to alt.os.linux.redhat, so looking back 300 or so should
show you what has been discussed over the past month or more. Generally
speaking, it's random noise about Red Hat and Fedora Linux. On the 15th
of every month, there is an article titled "List of Big Eight Newsgroups"
posted to the news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, and news.lists.misc
newsgroups. It lists 17 Usenet newsgroups relating to Linux. You'd have
better luck reading those for a while.

You'll find you have much quicker results if you use the search engine for
it's intended purpose - searching for answers for specific questions. In
all likelihood, your problem has already been discussed hundreds of times
and the answer is available as quick as you reading it.

Old guy
