Maybe a new vnews/readnews/rn and postnews should be
created where the distribution is assumed to North
America (na) for articles from sites in North America
instead of the 'net.' The careless 'Return-key' by
those who have a distribution feature and those who
have no such feature are main causes of messages
going astray.  Let the user who wishes to send to
the 'net' be made to enter net and have the news
program ask him if he is sure of sending to net.  Had
a feature like this been in existence earlier, the
Europeans may not have had to dump net.politics and
net.misc.
