Yes, I'd thought about that (and even mentioned that in a previous post) and my position is that if people are not using the Distribution: field correctly (consistently; we all know what happens every September) and are sending postings around the world that should probably be kept local, or statewide or limited to North America, then I reserve the right to moderate the group. Primarily for the purpose of fixing the bloody Distribution line. Also, we're goig to try something a little beyond the usual concept of the cyclic ``frequently asked questions'' posting in that it will include a list of email adresses of people who are prepared to accept questions people are not quite sure about asking, broken down into areas of expertise. -- Help wipe out BBQ lighter fluid in your lifetime richard@gryphon.COM decwrl!gryphon!richard gryphon!richard@elroy.jpl.NASA.GOV
