*** Welcome to misc.kids ***
Welcome to misc.kids, the newsgroup for parents, soon-to-be
parents, and other people interested in children. In this group,
we discuss issues relevant to pregnancy and child rearing, solicit
advice from other netters on a host of parenting concerns,
and generally seek and provide support and encouragement with
respect to raising kids. This is a group intended for parents of
children of *all* ages, including teenagers and adult children.
This document introduces new readers both to the preferred
etiquette for misc.kids and to a service we have devised
in this group: a compilation of files of Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ).
*** Netiquette on misc.kids ***
Most of the guidelines here are the same as in
news.announce.newusers. In fact, it is *strongly* recommended that
you read the etiquette guidelines in news.announce.newusers (or in
any other introductory text on news readers) before you post any
articles.
o Please be very careful when asking for or giving medical advice.
It is one thing to state what your experience with X might have
been, and another thing entirely to dispense medical advice to
complete strangers. If you are asking for medical advice, please
consider the source, and consult with a trusted medical
professional before using any advice you obtain from the net.
o Please respond via e-mail whenever possible; if the
original poster was soliciting advice/information, s/he should
post a summary to the net. This helps cut down on net traffic.
o If someone takes the time and energy to respond to a query which
you have posted, *please* extend some common courtesy by
acknowledging his/her response via e-mail. A simple "thank you"
should suffice in most instances.
o Please read all follow-ups before posting one of your own;
in many cases, someone else has already covered the same point.
o Please limit the amount of material included from previous
postings as much as possible, and try to be concise. Certainly,
.signatures should be excised. Remember that most of the audience
for misc.kids are busy parents. However, please make sure you
include enough of the original article so as to make your follow-up
sensible. (For example, follow-ups such as "I totally agree!" with
no material included from the previous article make no sense at all,
due to the nature of news readers. And of course, if *ALL* that
you want to say is "I totally agree!", that should certainly be
handled via private e-mail.)
o Please watch your attributions carefully; avoid misquotes and
misconstructions.
o Please avoid cross-postings to other newsgroups unless you are
absolutely sure there is relevance to the other group(s). There
is usually nothing that will spark a flame war faster than to
cross-post an article to groups such as soc.men, soc.women, or
alt.sex. If you feel you must cross-post or respond to
a cross-posting, please delete misc.kids from the Newsgroups
line as soon as the relevance to this newsgroup disappears.
o Please check your Subject line carefully! If you are starting a
new thread, do not use the standard follow-up command. (If you
aren't sure about how to post a new article, read some help
articles, or read news.announce.newusers (strongly recommended
reading for any new netter anyway).) Similarly, if you want folks
to read your article, and especially, if you want people to offer
advice/comments, tailor your Subject line accordingly. This is a
very busy newsgroup, and Subject lines that are vague might not
catch the eye of the very people who might have something to
offer. For example, if you have questions about breastfeeding
and sibling rivalry, please take the time to write two separate
articles with appropriate Subject lines.
o Please remember that this newsgroup has a world-wide readership.
With that in mind, please note the following: First, readers
whose primary language is not English might not know what a
VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarian) is, or what Tylenol is.
(There is an FAQ file entitled "Acronyms" -- please check the
FAQ File Index for instructions on how to request that file.)
Second, check your Distribution line before posting an article.
If you are looking for an occasional babysitter in Idaho, you're
unlikely to find interested readers in New Zealand! Third, please
be understanding and patient with spelling or style errors made by
people who are obviously posting from a non-English speaking country.
(For that matter, spelling and/or grammatical errors should not be
pointed out via the newsgroup, but through private e-mail if you feel
it is absolutely necessary to show someone the error of their
ways.)
o Before posting an article to misc.kids, please be sure it
is actually relevant to parenting or children. Misc.kids can
be a great source of support, but it is not the only newsgroup
on Usenet. Thus, queries regarding the best dishwasher to get
would be entirely inappropriate for this newsgroup.
o While there is a newsgroup (alt.kids-talk) for non-adults to
participate in, comments from children and teens are very welcome
in this newsgroup.
o Please refrain from name-calling, tantrums or other hysterics--
we get enough of that from our children :-).
*** Index to FAQ Files ***
=======================================================================
NOTE 1: Some/many of the files listed below are available via the
Web. Use URL "http://www.internet-is.com" or
"http://www.netaxs.com/~iris/infoweb/baby.html" to get a listing of what's
available.
=======================================================================
NOTE 2: There are several misc.kids groups, and many of the
following FAQ files are posted in misc.kids.info (and are therefore
archived). The other misc.kids related groups are:
misc.kids.computer software and computers for kids
misc.kids.vacation holidaying with children
misc.kids.consumers consumer issues related to children
misc.kids.health health issues related to children
misc.kids.pregnancy pre pregnancy planning, pregnancy,
childbirth
misc.kids.info FAQ's and important announcements
misc.kids other kid related discussions
alt.adoption adoption
alt.child-support child support issues
alt.kids-talk discussions among children with net access
alt.missing-kids missing children
alt.parents-teens parenting a teenager
alt.support.breastfeeding dealing with breastfeeding issues
alt.support.diabetes.kids dealing with diabetes in children
alt.support.step-parents being a step parent
alt.support.single-parents being a single parent
alt.support.foster-parents being a foster parent
rec.arts.books.children children's books
misc.education.home-school.christian homeschooling for religious
reasons
misc.education.home-school.misc homeschooling for other reasons
If your site carries these and you're interested in the topics that
would naturally fall into such groups, please add them to your
news reader file.
=======================================================================
NOTE 3: An increasing number of the files listed below are available
on the newsgroups misc.kids.info, misc.answers and news.answers. These
files are also archived and available for anonymous ftp at rtfm.mit.edu and
their archive names are included in their listings. To access the archived
copy, ftp to rtfm.mit.edu (userid: ftp, password: your-email-address); cd to
pub/usenet/news.answers/misc-kids and then "get" the file(s) desired using
the name given below. (The current index file is archived with the name
"faq").
The affected files are noted by the line "Archive: X", where "X"
is the name of the archived file.
If you are interested in any of the following topics, please
e-mail the contact person directly, who will then
send you a copy of the file. Please be specific when requesting
files, as some folks maintain more than one FAQ file. If you would like
to add something to the files listed, please also do so via e-mail,
and indicate that you would like your comments added to the
FAQ file. Please read the instructions carefully. If a notation
follows the person's e-mail address, e.g. (Subject "send toys"),
the subject line should read "send toys", *WITHOUT* the quotation
marks, of course. Such files are sent out automatically, and if you
don't put the correct subject line in your e-mail, it will not be
processed as quickly. Also, please do *not* request FAQ files using
an anonymous address--files will most likely bounce or get truncated
because of the automatic stripping of the headers by the anonymous
mail server.
If you ask for an FAQ file and don't get it within a week, it
may have bounced. When you ask again, please be sure to include your
e-mail address in the body of your request, in case 'reply' doesn't
work. ("Rec." = "Recommendations") Please also keep in mind that
some of the files are quite long, which might confuse/bollux some
mailers.
At the end of this Index is a list of mailing lists for specific
topics.
