Archive-name: clarinet/standing Here is a list of some of the standing stories you may find useful, and what groups they appear in. Some groups contain only standing stories, such as the clari.feature groups. There are more standing stories than these, particularly in the financial and sports groups. For example, in clari.sports.baseball there is a story on each major league game played each day. The same applies to the other sports groups. To find out more about these stories, simply read the groups and note the slugwords. A number of other stories, particularly in the sports groups, are seasonal. For example, around playoff time, you will find regular features on the progress of any sports playoff or series. Some stories are not officially standing stories, yet they come all the time. For example, you can be sure there will be a story slugged clinton just about every day about Bill Clinton. Many of these features are daily. Weekly stock reports come Friday evening. Music charts and other entertainment statistics usually come Friday morning. Below you will see a list of these stories, along with the usual newsgroup for the story (with the "clari" prefix removed), and the slugword for the story.
