I would like to see a news posting program that does not have the
default of "world".  It is just too easy for some people to pound on
the return key, and walk across the prompts, making a global post.

If they had the default be local/state/nation/global that would be
better, as it would cause someone to have to deliberately create a
global posting.

This is true, the last time I suggested this, I recieved mail from 
a few *rude* system admins, telling me I was preventing freedom of
speech, and who am I to tell them how to be a site admin.

Oh well...
