I fully agree with getting rid of net.general.

While we're at it, how about creating a USA subnet, usa.* (or North America)
to tempt USA/NA netters to keep local stuff local.

To quote from an article on the European subnet today, that was in reply to
a French netter saying there was a French subnet:

	>That is (or at least should be!) common practice in all European
	>countries. Wish it were the same in the USA...

I know that there is the Distribution: feature to postnews, but where is the
evidence that it is used? Just look at all those lifts offered/wanted that
appear(ed) in net.general!
