01.002 What is comp.sys.apple2 and how can I read/post messages there?

    
     Comp.sys.apple2 (Csa2) is a USENET newsgroup. Messages posted to these
newsgroups spread to many thousands of servers and millions of readers
throughout the world.

     Most Internet Service Providers support posting and reading newsgroup
messages via popular browsers like Netscape and Internet Explorer. A few
internet sites also provide free access to newsgroups and allow posting
messages. Two are Google and Mailgate. Google also allows searching for
information in an archive of newsgroup messages which goes back to 1981. (For
