There have been a number of articles lately that specifically say
"Distribution: nj", but have been distributed net-wide, or at least
in California. Could someone in New Jersey please find out which
machine(s) is(are) not handling these correctly?

I previously posted an article regarding the fact that my machine is receiving 'nj' distribution articles.

Here are the 'headers' from >3 of the articles that were received. The basic problem is that not all systems support distributions yet. Many/most/all? notes sites do not understand the concept, and old (A news, 2.9) versions of news don't either, so whenever such a system sees something like 'net.wanted, distribution:nj' all it cares about is the net and the nj gets lost. Because of this, things leak out. Sites that do catch distributions should/do catch many of these miscreants, but not all of them get caught. chuq -- :From the closet of anxieties of: Chuq Von Rospach, National Semiconductor {cbosgd,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA Become a druid- light a fire with someone you love...

It's pretty obvious to me from the headers you posted that the articles escaped from New Jersey to California via the allegra<->amd link. We had (and still have I hope) an agreement to get their nj distribution. (and they our ba distribution) What I don't understand is why amdcad appears to be passing it on to fortune. The sys file entry for fortune does not include nj. amdcad runs the latest publically available 2.10.2 news. -- Preverted word of the day: tribadism, to rub Phil Ngai (408) 749-5720 UUCP: {ucbvax,decwrl,ihnp4,allegra}!amdcad!phil ARPA: amdcad!phil@decwrl.ARPA

Can anyone point out the offender in the following distribution? (Perhaps mail to the offender -&myself?- would be the best -tactful- way to handle it..) It's got to make me wonder, though, how bad things must be in New Jersey! It seems like EVERYBODY is selling their cars, houses, and what-have-you. I've not seen ANY similar postings in our region! -------------------- From cholula!tikal!uw-beaver!cornell!vax135!houxm!mhuxt!mhuxv!mhuxh!hlexa!hlwpb!rer Fri Apr 5 08:19:10 1985 Relay-Version: version B 2.10.2 9/18/84; site persci.UUCP Posting-Version: version B 2.10.2 larry 2/4/84; site hlwpb.UUCP Path: persci!cholula!tikal!uw-beaver!cornell!vax135!houxm!mhuxt!mhuxv!mhuxh!hlexa!hlwpb!rer From: rer@hlwpb.UUCP (Robert E.
