Usenet newsgroups are arranged in a hierarchical structure. Related groups start with one or more identical components. For example, the many groups whose names start with rec.music are all about various facets of music, which is in itself one facet of recreation. What follows are the top level hierarchies carried on Newsguy and their descriptions. To access the newsgroups available within the hierarchy, simply click the hierarchy name.
