	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.
