What is Usenet? What are newsgroups?

k12.ed.math Faq-O-Matic
Usenet is a collection of newsgroups. Newsgroups are discussion forums. Often Usenet refers only to the "Big Eight" hierarchies: comp, humanities, misc, news, rec, sci, soc, and talk. While k12.ed.math is a newsgroup in the k12 hierarchy, it still operates by the usual Usenet conventions and is transported through the same network systems. So, for all practical purposes, it is part of Usenet. A newsgroup is not a mailing list or a listserve.
