Wrongo!!  For instance, relatively few people at Georgia Tech read net.lan.
Since I'm in the Office of Telecommunications and Networking, I consider
that an important group to read.  And the people who read the articles
I write and write the articles I read are almost never at Tech.

The accolade system, if implemented, should work accross all sites, but
may be limited to a homogeneous (if there is such a thing) network like
usenet, arpanet, or whatever.
