soc.answers

Repository for periodic USENET articles. (Moderated)

soc.answers was the soc.* member of the *.answers family: a moderated group into which the hierarchy’s Frequently Asked Questions documents were posted on a schedule, so that a reader could find a group’s standing reference material without trawling its traffic.

The *.answers groups were one of Usenet’s genuine institutions, and the archives they fed remain the most-cited surviving product of the medium.
