And yet not all newsgroups are suitable for minors. For example, I *certainly*
wouldn't send an 11- (or 14-) year-old girl to alt.sex.bestiality.pictures.

Is there such a newsgroup?

When I last looked at the newsgroup directory, there were about fifteen such
groups.

I can assure you I never sent anyone there. Nor would I. I can also
assure you that every Internet beginner's book that I checked a the
library last week discusses newsgroups without a single mention of
suitability for children. I checked the first 5 in order. One made
no mention of newsgroups at all. The other 4 referred to them as
useful and one describes the people who use newsgroups as experts in
their fields based on the newsgroup name.

So, I guess we're all experts at being miscellaneous writers.
