gov.us.topic.nat-resources.parks rec.arts.disney.parks semcog.pub-facilities.parking Groups are set up and maintained by special interests including, but not limited to gov (government), us (local governmental or quasi governmental entities such as a state university or city), biz (business) or alt (for alternative - any thing goes). Some of these groups are deadly serious and aimed at specialized markets. For example, you can read business process reengineering group news for a year without smiling. Some are pure commercial - seattle.business and alt.business.franchise are about commercial transactions only. Some are for making public announcements such as gov.us.ed.announce and comp.windows.x.announce which are internet equivalent of public announcement section of news paper. People with common and specialized interests join these groups to share their stuff. The groups are a meeting place and a place you should go to meet people who need you.

Groups are either moderated or unmoderated. A moderated group has a one member who reads everything to determine if it is appropriate to be posted to group's bulletin board. Unmoderated groups allow anyone to post anything. The success of a moderated group depends on quality of moderator. If junk is let in, value of group goes down. The success of unmoderated groups depends on group's community. A serious community will write some very nasty letters to people who post off message subjects to their group. My caution to you is to stay on subject for each group.
