One thing that I have done at my site is to make the default
distribution 'local'.  That way a user has to at least figure
out how to use postnews before he/she can bother the entire
net.  I also changed postnews so that if the user specifies
a distribution of 'net' they are then asked if they 'really
want the ENTIRE world to see the article'.  These changes were
easy to make and have resulted in a slightly higher level
of user awareness.
