It's interesting that New Jersey is the canonical state; in fact, it seems
to me that these announcements all seem to come from AT&T.

There was a very curious exchange a while back when someone asked about
creating a "ma" distribution for cod-staters.  Someone at an AT&T site
objected because they use ma.* groups internally as a distribution.  All
this leads me to the tentative conclusion that AT&T sites aren't using
distributions as the rest of the net knows them at all.

Would someone in the know care to try to resolve this confusion?
