Afloyd.49 net.news.group utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!ihnss!cbosg!harpo!floyd!trb Sat Jan 23 11:47:37 1982 how about local newsgroups by state? Hey, all you netnews administrators out there. Let's have a standard newsgroupgroup with the root name being the post office two letter state name abbreviation. I would like nj.general for news of interest to we residents of the lovely garden state. I doubt that the watmath'ers up above the Arctic Circle are interested in hearing that the Computerworld TV show is on channel 9 in New York on Saturdays at 930 am, but I have no way of transmitting that to all my fallow New Jerseans (and New Yorkeans). No law against exporting nj.all to New York, you know. This entails exporting either the specific newsgroup or all. If I just post to nj.general, it won't just get created in the right places. I could cheat and say net.nj.general, but that's sick.
