Newsgroups with
Taurine content
(usenet)

Note: If
you're using Netscape (and you SHOULD be), these links will
take you directly to the highlighted group. If you're using another browser
you may have to get to the group some other way.
alt.culture.bullfight
The abuelito of taurine internet newsgroups, complete with its own resident
pundits and curmudgeons. This is the only group whose sole focus is the
mundo taurino, and the posts can be quite esoteric. Posts typically appear in English with a regular minority in Spanish (some Portugese and Catalan too), and include news (most up-to-date during the Spanish
temporada; frequently several new posts per day), occasional binary files
(photos), occasional anti-taurine posts with the expected reactive apologia.
Good place to post requests for information -- group is frequented by some
VERY seasoned aficionados.
Any usenet group
focused on a country in which bullfights occur may, at times have taurine-interest
posts. These are most likely to be in Spanish than in English, and occur
sporadically, in flurries -- more likely to cluster around the dates of
important national ferias. See, for example:
soc.culture.catalan
soc.culture.colombia
soc.culture.ecuador
soc.culture.french
soc.culture.latin-america
soc.culture.mexican
soc.culture.peru
soc.culture.portugese
soc.culture.spain
Possibly the most likely spot to find taurine posts -- but even here, rarely.
soc.culture.venezuela

If your
news server does not provide access to one of these usenet groups, try
the excellent service provided by DejaNews
-- you can simply search for the group you are interested in, and then
read the posts from their archives. You can also post TO the group here.
If you ARE able to connect directly, it would be worth your time to visit
DejaNews anyway -- many times it's archive will contain many posts that
your newsserver missed.
As an alternative, you might try this Japanese archive
of alt.culture.bullfight posts. It's a web site, so you should be able
to connect to it with your browser.

If you
have comments or suggestions, please send them to
