You OTOH... run an ISP and your own news server, you don't
follow any established Usenet netiquette whatsoever... plus
you type posts like a cat walking across a keyboard. So if
you feel that's more powerful, great! Carry on then...

Good behaviour guidelines, as in...respectful and appropriate
communication on the internet. As the CEO of an ISP you should

Point ONE ... Read news.announce.newusers before you start posting

some of the newsgroups that are available, and the *rules* of etiquette.
Most of the items mentioned below are explained there.

 So explain September?

Well, there are groups of Days throught out the 'year' that are grouped into 'months' and, back in the Days of "Julius Ceasar" (or there-abouts), the Seventh of those months of the Yearly cycle was named "September" after the seventh Roman Numeral.
Remember, back in the day, the year started with the (Northern Hemisphere) start of Spring, the March Equinox.
