What are newsgroups?

Newsgroups are a wonderfully anarchic collection of bulletin boards where users can post and read messages about a variety of topics. There are well over 20,000 different newsgroups, and the number grows daily. Although some newsgroups are moderated, that is the posts to the group are monitored by an individual or individuals to ensure that the posts are on topic, the majority of newsgroups exist without any type of government save the voices of the individuals who read and post there.
