There are many reasons for a net.ny, however most of them would more appropriately refer to net.ny-metropolitan-area. Those of us in Northeastern NJ, especially those of us who commute westwards across the great river Hudson, have more in common with those in NYC than those in Syracuse and Buffalo (no offense), and many of those who login in NYC actually live in NJ. I propose that a NET.METAREA be created which would include a fifty or sixty miles of the City. We have a Port Authority and a Met. Transit Authority, let's not fight about the statue of liberty on the net. Remember, the New York Giants play in New Jersey. -- Avi Malek @ATT Bell Labs Parsippany, NJ netnews administrator - VILYA
