I think it could be "The Map of USENET".
Why? Because "Bible" I would like to be the only One, 
"Concordance" or "Kippers" doesn't mean anything for me or average
non-native english speaker. 

BTW:
I'm from Finland and I usually don't followup to world-wide newsgroups,
but maybe it's time for me to step in. My signature in english is coming
afterwards; please don't mind the words that You can't decipher .-)
