Not that using usa over na will restrict distribution much; there is a lot of
permeability on that matter (i.e. many major canadian gateways let usa
postings through, and vice-versa).  I can't come up with an example where a
distriution "usa" posting would be absolutely and totally irrelevant up here;
even the opposite "can" postings leaking in the "usa" with 100% canadian
concerns usually generate interest and follow-ups in the US.  The cultures are
close enough to allow this yet different enough to make it entertaining, and
there is no economic or political incentive to keep the articles out...
