What are News Groups?
Newsgroups are an electronic discussion forum. People can exchange information and participate in discussions on a wide variety of topics. They often can even exchange pictures, music, documents and other electronic media through the newsgroup.
Newsgroups are most often organized into discussion groups based on topics. Often the topics are then organized into sub folders or trees also know as hierarchies. Newsgroups are often for trading sports information, jokes, scientific discussions, religion, school projects, business or almost anything else.
There are news groups in almost every language that are used worldwide. Many sites provide FAQ’s or frequently asked questions that are posted. Often, newsgroups provide a charter of the groups purpose and acceptable uses. You should read this and make sure that you are in agreement prior to posting any information or joining.

As a result, GHN would not be providing a value added service to the majority of our customers by adding news groups to our list of services.
