I'm not against the idea, but I'm just wondering what's to stop
people just cross-posting everything from tucson.forsale to
az.forsale, and tucson.general to az.general and so on. I just wonder
if a tucson heirarchy is all that neccessary as it isn't as though
all the az groups are packed solid, just certain groups.

Just my 2 cents
