-
-
-
- In the rn news program, you can set up a KILL file to automatically
- delete articles of a given Subject. The KILL file is explained in
- section 3 below.
-
-
- 2. Special Abbreviations - to be used after the soap abbreviation in
- the Subject line.
-
- AMC: SPOILER
- The AMC group has adopted this abbreviation to indicate that the
- article contains spoilers that may have been obtained from the soap
- magazines or elsewhere. Make sure you use this if you reply to articles
- with spoilers, or if you mention spoilers you have heard on the net!
-
- [Soap-Abbreviation]: TAN
- Many of the soap subgroups have adopted the TAN abbreviation (short for
- TANgent) to indicate that the article contains personal comments, not
- necessarily related to the soap. This way if you are not interested in
- hearing about how many cats a person has, etc., you can put this subject
- in your kill file (explained below).
-
-
- 3. KILL Files: - for rn and trn users
-
- The easiest way to start a KILL file is, whenever you see an article that
- you aren't interested in, to type
-
- [Shift] K
-
- The subject will then automatically go into a local KILL file. If the KILL file
- doesn't already exist, one will be created. Then any time an article with
- that subject comes up, it will automatically be deleted.
-
- Here is a complete KILL file: WARNING!! This will delete all soaps!
- You will want to make sure you DON'T include the abbreviations for the
- soaps that you want to see articles about.
-
- NOTE - the description in () should NOT be included in the KILL file. It
- is only for your reference.
-
-
- /: *30/:j (Thirty Something)
- /alt.flame/h:j (in response to a rash of posts that came from alt.flame)
- /: *AMC/:j (All My Children)
- /: *ATWT/:j (As the World Turns)
- /: *AW/:j (Another World)
- /: *B&B/:j (Bold and Beautiful)
- /: *BB/:j (sometimes used for Bold and Beautiful)
- /: *B & B/:j (sometimes used for Bold and Beautiful)
- /: *BH/:j (Beverly Hills 90210)
- /: *DAL/:j (Dallas)
- /: *Dark/:j (Dark Shadows)
- /: *DOOL/:j (Days of Our Lives)
- /: *DAYS/:j (sometimes used for Days of Our Lives)
- /: *EE/:j (East Enders)
- /: *GEN/:j (Generations)
- /: *GH/:j (General Hospital)
- /: *GL/:j (Guiding Light)
- /: *HF/:j (Home Front)
- /: *KL/:j (Knots Landing)
- /: *LA/:j (LA Law)
- /: *LGO/:j (Life Goes On)
- /: *LOV/:j (Loving)
- /: *LUV/:j (sometimes used for Loving)
- /: *OLTL/:j (One Life to Live)
- /: *SB/:j (Santa Barbara)
- /: *SC/c:j (Swan's Crossing)
- /: *SIS/c:j (Sisters)
- /: *SOAP/:j (Soap)
- /: *Y&R/:j (Young and Restless)
- /: *Y & R/:j (sometimes used for Young and Restless)
-
- You can edit the KILL file by typing:
-
- [Ctrl] k
-
- while you are in the news.
-
- If the file gets too big it will take too long to go through. You will
- want to keep only the first word in the KILL file. For example, if an
- article with the Subject "GH - Tuesday's Update" appears and you are
- not interested in General Hospital, type [Shift] K, and:
-
- /: *GH - Tuesday's Update/:j
-
- will be put in the KILL file. Then type [Ctrl] k, and edit the file to say:
-
- /: *GH/:j
-
- Then all the General Hospital articles will be deleted the next time you
- read news.
-
- To learn more about KILL files, send email to mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu
- with "send usenet/news.answers/killfile-faq" in the body of the message.
-
-
- 4. readnews Information
-
- On my particular system, I have both "rn" and "readnews" available. You might
- want it see if you have "rn" available. I like "rn" much better; I will
- explain why in the following paragraphs.
-
- To find out what is available, look at the man pages.
- Type: "man readnews" and "man rn"
- This will also give you a lot of interesting information.
-
- If "rn" is not available, or if you like "readnews" better, there is a
- function that is similar to the KILL file in "readnews". Instead of KILLing
- articles of a given subject, you read only articles with a given subject(s).
-
- For example, on my system, if you read All My Children, One Life to Live, and
- Generations, type:
-
- readnews -t OLTL AMC GEN
-
- Rita sent email to me (thanks Rita) indicating that her system works
- slightly differently from mine. She would have to type:
-
- readnews -n rec.arts.tv.soaps -t OLTL AMC GEN
-
- This way you would not have to go through all the articles about the other
- soaps.
-
- The only problem is, if someone doesn't use the standard soap abbreviation,
- or if there is a different subject, like "Soap Opera Digest Awards" then
- you would miss the article. That's why I like "rn" better.
-
- In "rn", I KILL all the standard soap abbreviations except for those I read
- (AMC and GEN). That way, I get everything except the other soaps, instead of
- only my soaps.
-
- Try reading the man page and experimenting. If you figure anything else out,
- let me know, and I will share the info with everyone else when I post the
- "FAQ" info each month.
-
- [The above section was probably written by Sandra Macika. If you positively
- know who wrote it, please email me: gibbsm@ll.mit.edu. Rita Prisco

- 5. vn Information
-
- Hi, I am Dorothy. I thought I was the only person who was using VN instead
- of RN. Nothing anybody ever said on the NET about using RN made any sense
- to me because VN is -different- -- KILL FILES meant nothing to me, at least
- how to get them to work. So I read through the pitifully inadequate DOC
- that came with the VISUAL NEWS READER (2/1/85) to see if I could find
- something that would make reading the news easier and more fun and most of
- all FASTER. I found the "marker method" which took a long time to figure
- out, but I use it all the time now and it has made VN a pleasure instead
- of a pain. I will try to describe it so will make sense to you. It isn't
- easy putting things like this into words.
-
- Say you are in rec.arts.tv.soaps with your cursor at the beginning article.
- If you are like me, you only care about two or three soaps -- mine are AMC,
- OLTL, and GH. I also like to read through the misc. ramblings -- they are
- fun, too. Use the small j to run through the group of articles. When you
- come to one you want to read, hit the small x. This will put a * beside the
- article. Keep doing this until you have everything you want to read marked
- with the *. Next step is to press [Ctrl] r -- the program will prompt you
- with words like string to search? Type in an * and hit Return. Your VN
- reader will only present you with the articles you have selected, one by one
- in order. If you make a boo-boo and mark the wrong article simply hit small
- x again and it will unmark it. A capital X will unmark all articles. I
- suppose you know this already but if you do a small k, it will move the cursor
- backwards to an article you may have missed marking the first time. You do
- *not* have to unmark to update the entire page. It took me awhile to "get
- into the rhythm" of the process, but it is second nature now and gets me
- through the reading in a fraction of time it used to take. I hope this works
- for you as well. I am sure as hell no computer programmer so I didn't
- understand KILL files or any of that stuff, but this works just great for me.
-
- Don't hesitate to E-mail me back. I am sure no expert, but if I can help at
- all, I would be glad to hear from you.

- 6. vnews Information
-
- Hi. Are you using VNEWS? If so, this is what you have to do to filter
- out soaps in which you aren't interested. (I find it easiest to do a "d"
- first, and get the directory of the whole group. It makes the rest of it
- run faster.)
-
- At the command prompt, type: k/whatever subject you do not want to read.
- It must be a lower case k.
-
- Do this for each soap in which you are not interested. For me, that means
- I do:
-
- k/amc <CR> (where <CR> means I hit the return key. NOT THE
- ENTER KEY)
- k/y&r <CR>
- k/oltl, etc., etc.

- 7. How to post via email:
-
- Usenet News MailServers exist at pws.bull.com, cs.utexas.edu, decwrl.dec.com,
- and news.cs.indiana.edu. These servers allow you to post to a Usenet
- newsgroup via email, and can be useful if you have read-only access to
- Usenet news. To use them, mail your post to rec-arts-tv-soaps@cs.utexas.edu;
- or to rec.arts.tv.soaps.usenet@decwrl.dec.com; or to rec.arts.tv.soaps@host,
- where "host" is either news.cs.indiana.edu or pws.bull.com. There is also
- a mailserver especially set up for the rec.arts.tv.soaps group. To use it,
- mail your post to soaps@grafex.cupertino.ca.us.
-
- Please do not use these services if you have other posting access to
- the Usenet, and please remember to put the Soap Abbreviation in your
- subject line.
-
-
- 8. Signature files
-
- How do I get the news software to include a signature with my postings?
- [from Gene Spafford's postings in news.announce.newusers]
-
- This is a question that is best answered by examining the documentation
- for the software you're using, as the answer varies depending on the software.
-
- However, if you're reading news on a Unix machine, then you can probably
- get a signature to appear on your outgoing messages by creating a file
- called ".signature" in your home directory. Two important things to
- remember are:
-
- a. Many article-posting programs will restrict the length of the
- signature. For example, the "inews" program will often only
- include the first four lines. This is not something you
- should be trying to find a way to defeat; it is there for
- a reason. If your signature is too long, according to the
- software, then shorten it.
-
- b. Under some news configurations, your .signature file must be
- world-readable, and your home directory world-executable, for
- your signature to be included correctly in your articles. If
- your .signature does not get included, try running these
- commands:
- chmod a+x $HOME
- chmod a+r $HOME/.signature
-
- Signatures are nice, but don't overdo it. Signatures can tell the world
- something about you, but keep them short. A signature that is longer
- than the message itself is considered to be in bad taste. The main
- purpose of a signature is to help people locate you, not to tell your
- life story. Every signature should include at least your return
- address relative to a major, known site on the network and a proper
- domain-format address. Your system administrator can give this
- information to you.
-
-
- 9. Spoiler protection: How to use a Ctrl-L
-
- Sometimes people get advance notice of what's going to happen on a soap.
- Some people like reading these spoilers; others would rather be surprised.
- If you're going to post a spoiler, it's a good idea to protect the
- information with a Ctrl-L, as well as by putting "spoiler" in the
- subject line. The Ctrl-L will allow some newsreaders to stop displaying
- text in the post, until the reader intervenes.
-
- Be sure to use the Ctrl-L as the first character on a line, otherwise
- it can't do its job. Likewise, if you're following up to a post with a
- Ctrl-L, remember to remove any previous characters on the line which your
- news software inserts.
-
- If your editor is emacs or uemacs, you type first Ctrl-Q and then the
- control character you want to appear. (So for Ctrl-L the entire sequence
- would be Ctrl-Q Ctrl-L). (By Ctrl-Q I mean hold down the control key and
- press q at the same time, then release both)
-
- If you use vi, you have to be in insert mode (where you can type directly
- into the file rather than move around) and then you can just press Ctrl-L.
- (thanks to Ellen Sasse: sasse@netcom.com)
-
-
- 10. Retrieving lost articles/replies
-
- Have you ever typed a long summary or reply and somehow blew it (hit the
- wrong key, system went down, aborted accidentally, etc)? There is a way
- to retrieve your file! Look in any one of the following files - located
- in your home directory (if you are on a Unix machine):
-
- dead.letter
- dead.article
- .article
- .letter
-
- Note that the latter two files will not be seen if you do a regular "ls".
- To see files the begin with a ".", you must type "ls -a".
-
-
- 11. Acronyms commonly used by posters:

- OTFL: On The Floor Laughing
- RATS: Rec.Arts.TV.Soaps
- RSN: Real Soon Now
- SO: Significant Other
- TTFN: Ta-Ta For Now
- TTYL: Talk To You Later
-
-
- 12. Where's such-and-such an update?
- (For soaps which have regular updaters, ie AMC)
-
- Remember that the updaters are real people with real jobs and real school
- work just like you. Let's put it this way -- if someone works 8-5 and
- watches a soap opera episode after work, it might be difficult for
- them to have the update done by early the next morning. Also, there
- is often a bit of lag time between the time an article is posted
- and when the article reaches your news site. So *please* don't post
- an article on Tuesday asking where Monday's update is... you might
- upset the Monday updater enough that he or she will stop doing the
- updates altogether!
-
-
- 13. Why don't we split up this newsgroup?
-
- Approximately once every three months or so (sometimes more often), someone
- brings up the idea of splitting rec.arts.tv.soaps (RATS) into several
- smaller, easier to read newsgroups -- you can be assured that the idea will
- be brought up at the beginning of each and every school semester as new
- people get access to RATS. While this may seem like a very good idea, it
- is really quite impractical for at least the following two reasons (we're
- sure there are more):
-
- a. Creating new newsgroups is very difficult and is a very long and drawn
- out process. In order to create a new group, the proposal has to be
- discussed on news.groups and be voted on and approved by the net-world
- at large -- that means everybody, not just us RATSers. For a new
- group to be created it must receive at least 100 more "yes" votes than
- "no" votes *and* at least twice as many "yes" votes as "no" votes.
-
- b. How to split the group? People in RATS are quite divided on this
- issue. Do we split by each soap? Obviously there aren't enough people
- discussing some soaps for them to warrant their own group. Do we split
- by network? Some people watch soaps from more than one network so they
- don't want a split -- and what about posts that are meant for everyone?
- Where would they get posted? Do we split by volume? Different soaps
- generate varying amounts of conversation depending on what's happening
- in the show -- it's hard to anticipate where to make such a split.
- While we might come to some sort of agreement on the split, there will
- be several RATSers who are against that particular split so they'd vote
- "no" -- add those "no" votes to the votes of the people against the
- creation of any new groups and the people who don't think a discussion
- of soaps is warranted on USENET and the split just won't pass.
-
- Basically, the point is, this issue has been discussed over and over and
- over here in RATS and the consensus is to just leave things the way they
- are. We've yet to find anyone willing to do all the work to separate the
- group. We recommend that anyone who wishes to attempt a split of RATS read
- news.groups for at least two weeks (and we mean read *every* article) and
- then decide if you really want to go to the effort. In addition to the
- difficulties involved in getting a new group created, we'd have the added
- difficulty in trying to convince the net-world at large that soap operas
- are important enough to even warrant the existence of RATS -- let alone the
- creation of several new groups. Simply announcing the idea in news.groups
- would create an incredible amount of "nasty" anti-soap talk which would be
- very unpleasant.
-
- One last thing, check out the part of rec.arts.tv.soaps FAQ which explains
- the use of kill files to weed out articles you are not interested in. We
- realize everyone doesn't have access to a kill file but there's nothing we
- can do about that. If you are such a person, you might consider speaking
- with your system administrator about upgrading your news reading software.

- 14. Pointers to more information for new posters (and old!)
-
- There is a lot more useful information available on the usenet network
- which is not contained in the scope of this FAQ.
-
- The news.announce.newusers newsgroup contains explanatory postings for
- new users. Its purpose is to provide a base set of information with
- which all participants in the USENET should be familiar in order to make
- the USENET (and r.a.t.s.!) a better place for all of us.
-
- If you have not already done so, you are strongly encouraged to read
- these postings before posting any messages. In particular, the following
- postings in news.announce.newusers are especially useful for new users:
- A Primer on How to Work With the Usenet Community
- Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
- Emily Postnews Answers Your Questions on Netiquette
- Hints on writing style for Usenet
- Rules for posting to Usenet
- What is Usenet?
-
- The articles in news.announce.newusers are posted in such a way that
- each version should stay around at each site until the new version is
- posted. However, some sites are configured incorrectly so that this
- does not occur. If the articles listed above do not appear in the
- news.announce.newusers newsgroup at your site, you can get copies of
- them using email. Simply send an email message to
- mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu containing any or all of:
- send usenet/news.answers/usenet-primer/part1
- send usenet/news.answers/usenet-faq/part1
- send usenet/news.answers/emily-postnews/part1
- send usenet/news.answers/usenet-writing-style/part1
- send usenet/news.answers/posting-rules/part1
- send usenet/news.answers/what-is-usenet/part1
-
- Other good sources of information on the USENET network are the
- newsgroups news.newusers.questions (be sure to read its weekly FAQ
- before posting a question yourself), and news.software.readers
- (for newsreader-specific questions). Also, news.answers contains
- most of the FAQ's posted to each newsgroup, including the soaps-faq
- and soaps-abbrevs postings. Happy hunting!
