If you take the 'safe' approach, then urg is merely an alternative to
looking up the standard approach in a book

One infers from this statement that half the people using newsgroups are
merely seeking advice and the other half giving it!!!!!!!!

I thought the idea of a newsgroup is that it is an international
*discussion* forum not advice bureau! ie we discuss our points of view -
this may occasionally mean asking a question and assessing the opinions
of the various people who decide to join in the discussion . . . but no
one is 'obliged' to give an opinion!!!!!!

I know, I know, Kay your later paragraphs hint at this but don't say
it explicitly.
