  27. ========================
  28.  
  29. Welcome to the dur.* newsgroup hierarchy!
  30.  
  31. When you post to newsgroups, your message can potentially go to several
  32. thousand servers and millions of readers. Many of these readers are busy
  33. people without much time to devote to reading individual Usenet
  34. newsgroups, and so a set of conventions has evolved to make Usenet
  35. discussions as easy to follow as possible.
  36.  
  37. The IT Service maintain a set of guidelines for posting to newsgroups,
  38. which can be found at:
  39. <URL:http://www.dur.ac.uk/its/services/usenet/guidelines/>
  40.  
  41. By keeping to these conventions, you ensure that the greatest number of
  42. people read, and possibly reply, to your message.
