What's all this Usenet, reflector and list server stuff?
Newsgroups are mostly part of Usenet, which predates the World Wide Web and possibly even the Internet itself. Anyone whose ISP (Internet service provider) offers a news service can read and participate in newsgroups.
Listservs (short for list servers) are private affairs, sometimes run on a financial subscription basis, and enable one person (the list owner) to send information by e-mail automatically to a large number of interested people. A variant called a reflector allows any in the group to send replies, comments and new messages that are 'reflected' to all members of the group.
