Naming Newsgroups

There are a few traditions when it comes to naming newsgroups. In the `Big 8' hierarchies, the foremost rule is to keep the name simple, so users can easily find a newsgroup for any topic. Naming newsgroups in the alt hierarchy is less restrictive, and some newsgroups have obscure names. Regardless of the newsgroup name, you can be sure that Giganews will carry the groups you want.
