- There is no one site which carries ALL usenet newsgroups. There
- are many newsgroups with locak distributions. For example, here
- on this computer, we have newsgroups which are local to this
- computer. Then there are newsgroups local to monash university,
- and more local to the city of melbourne, and then local to the
- country of Australia. Then we receive newsgroups which have
- world distribution. I assume that what you are after is a list
- of newsgroups distributed throughout the world. You can find
- this list in the newsgroup news.lists, posted regularly with
- subject List of Active Newsgroups, Parts I & II. It explains in
- more detail about newsgroups. I would recommend that you read
- the introductory material there which is very useful.
