All I do is put "ny.general, nj.general" (the later actually being a group about a local defunct AFL football team :-)) as the newsgroups, with a distribution of "usa". Seems to work fine. Granted, it would be nice to be able to post to, say, rec.auto, with a distribution of "ny,nj", but it's not necessary. Now, for the $64k question -- has anybody ever actually sold a house, or even a car, as a result of a usenet for-sale posting? -- Roy Smith, {allegra,cmcl2,philabs}!phri!roy System Administrator, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016
