net.general is not for:
testing use "net.test", if necessary
advertising items for sale use a local distribution and group
looking for people use net.net-people
looking for X for your Y use net.wanted
Items in net.general are supposed to be of general interest to EVERYONE
AROUND THE WORLD. Your articles to this group are seen throughout the
net, and most of the recent postings are simply inappropriate.
Items posted to net.general should not also be posted to any other
groups -- if there is another group that seems appropriate, that is the
only place where the article should go. Net.general is for
announcements. If you wish to start up a discussion and don't know
what group to use, try using "net.misc".
If you don't know what groups are availabale or what they're about,
consult the list of active newsgroups. That list is published every 2
weeks in the net.news.group newsgroup. I'll be happy to mail a copy to
you if you cannot find one in your news.
Stop posting tests and 4sale notices to net.general!
