Yes, I'd thought about that (and even mentioned that in a previous
post) and my position is that if people are not using the 
Distribution: field correctly (consistently; we all know what
happens every September) and are sending postings around
the world that should probably be kept local, or statewide or
limited to North America,  then I reserve the right to moderate
the group. Primarily for the purpose of fixing the bloody
Distribution line.

Also, we're goig to try something a little beyond the usual concept
of the cyclic ``frequently asked questions'' posting in that
it will include a list of email adresses of people who are prepared
to accept questions people are not quite sure about asking, broken
down into areas of expertise.
