C/C++ Usenet Groups

The following Usenet discussion groups offer information, help, flames, and answer many questions about C and C++ programming issues.  You will need access to an ISP that supports these groups and an appropriate news reader (such as Outlook Express) to view them, or you can access them over the web using http://groups.google.com/.  Be forewarned of three things that really annoy programming newsgroup respondents:

    1.    Questions that they perceive to be someone asking them to do their homework for them,
    2.    Questions peculiar to a particular compiler or operating system rather than pertaining to the C/C++ language itself.
    3.    Questions already answered in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list.
