You people? Are you saying that because I'm black?

New to Usenet, eh? I did your homework for you on an appropriately
named web site.

http://www.clueless.com/jargon4.2.0/...newsfroup.html

newsfroup // n.

[Usenet] Silly synonym for newsgroup, originally a typo but now in
regular use on Usenet's talk.bizarre, and other lunatic-fringe groups.
Compare hing, grilf, pr0n and filk.

>Heheh.
