- soc.culture.italian FAQ
- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-
- Ciao. This monthly posting of frequently asked questions (FAQ), with
- answers, is intended to answer in advance questions that are often asked on
- the newsgroup soc.culture.italian (s.c.i for short) or simply provide you
- with some general information about s.c.i and Italy. Most of the answers are
- based on postings from the net on these subjects, or have been written
- by netters. Use them at your own risk.
-
- As with any newsgroup, it is best to read this file before posting
- anything on s.c.i. This rarely happens, so the other purpose of the FAQ
- is to function as a reference for easy consultation.
-
- Sections are in separate postings, marked by '=====SX' (where X is a number).
- Open questions are marked by '==QX.Y' (where X is the section and Y
- is the question number. Use '==' or '=S' or '=Q' as search string).
- Filtering the lines containing '==' will provide you with a complete
- table of contents (with '==' as indentation).
-
- Many FAQs, including this one, are available by anonymous ftp
- from the archive site rtfm.mit.edu in the directory:
- pub/usenet/news.answers. This FAQ is archived as: SCItalian-faq/part0
- (... part8). This FAQ is also available by gopher. The address is
- spfo.unibo.it. Look under the menu Virtual Italy.
