Well, the old discussion seems to have started again.
usa.all, can.all, na.all? Or back again to the old idea
of world.all? I still think the last would be the best,
It's a hard job to change peoples habits: those not too
familiar with the net are likely to pick net.xxx without
realizing the effect of it. Then world.xxx will at least
give them something to think of before they really send
an article out over the whole world.
Who would say Europe, Israel, Japan, Korea, Australia
would be really interested in e.g. American TV programs?
If you don't like the idea of world.all newsgroups, then
at least newsgroups related to that kind of stuff should
be moved from net.xxx to na.xxx (or even usa.xxx).
