Lines: 19 Keywords: send articles from region to backbone This probably has been asked before, so forgive me. Is there a way in 2.10.3 to specify that not only "local" articles, but almost local (originating less than "N" hops away) should be fed to a site. In my case, I'm interested in sending these articles long distance to the center of the net. The region of the world known as "San Diego" is a backwater in the usenet. (Not a complaint, just a reality) Articles seem to arrive here 3-4 days after everyone else has seen them, so locals tend to be laggards in some of the hot discussions. Needless to say, local follow-ups take just as long; I'd like to do something to at least expedite these along. Joel West CACI, Inc.
