+<para>Usenet newsgroups are forums in which you can post messages to discuss
+various topics: almost any subject you like (and many you don't!) can
+be found there. Although usenet has become less popular than it once
+was, because of the increasing use of web forums, &etc;, it is still a
+useful tool. &kde; provides a powerful usenet news reader called &knode;.</para>
