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!
