No -- lets make this netwide. Nothing against local groups, but this would
leave those in a lurch who have no archive site in their immediate neighborhood,
or require wider distribution of local groups which tends to just add to the
general confusion on the net.

By having a netwide group, archive site admins would also have all the info in
one place in case their site missed a specific item and needs to get it from
one of the other archives.
