The recent bits of spamming lead me to wonder if it would be desirable to
limit the coverage of certain az.* groups such that non-Arizona folks do
not traditionally see that stuff.   That is, I am suggesting we consider
balkanizing either all or some az.* groups to keep them in our own 
backyard and neither feed nor accept from non-Arizona providers.  

Once a stream of groups are let loose into the uunet cesspool, then any
moron with a quarter can drop by and insert their unwanted drivel---and it
seems that many do.

I realize that this might eliminate the valuable contributions from folks 
on AOL, as well as the questions from people about to move to Arizona
about who the best Internet provider is, but that's a sacrifice I'm 
prepared to make.  After all, these are difficult times. 

If you'd like to vote on this, call 1-900-MAKE-MONEY-FAST and let the
operators know your opinions.
