The post  below is from  news.lists containing Usenet  distributions. Can
anyone think of  a reason why the "bit" distribution  should be retained?
Although we used it at one time  to try and restrict bit.** newsgroups to
BitNet sites,  the bit.**  groups have  long since  escaped to  the wider
world. I have removed it from all my tools since it is apparent that many
sites will pass along posts to  bit.** newsgroups but will not pass along
posts which  contain a bit  distribution tag. I  can't think of  a reason
we'd want to restrict a post to BitNet sites.

Here is a list of ORGANIZATIONAL & Logical Network DISTRIBUTIONS,
available to Usenet as a whole.

I'm not interested in internal distributions, only public distributions
that your organization passes around widely.  If you don't care
who sees your organization's news, then send in your information.
If however your news is private, then don't send your information,
and if you see your distribution here, then ask to have it removed.
If YOU consider it a local or limited distribution, it shouldn't
be here.  PLEASE BE SOME SORT OF OFFICIAL PERSON when asking to
add or remove organizational distributions here.

Please feel free to add to it, or point out things that shouldn't be there,
I know it's not complete, or necessarily correct.  Also, if you note
inconsistencies or misspellings, please send them along as corrections.

Please use your organizations headquarters for an address, or anything else
you feel more appropriate.

PLEASE NOTE that any submissions not in the correct format will be
discarded without notification by an apathetic computer.

When you send an update to me, please don't quote my article back to me.
Simply note your corrections.  Otherwise your submission may be discarded
by an apathetic computer.

FORMAT:
-------
One of ADD, DELETE, CORRECT.  To differentiate corrections
from additions and deletions easily, please use the following format.

ADD distribution: City/COUNTY-PROVINCE/STATE/COUNTRY
DELETE distribution: City/COUNTY-PROVINCE/STATE/COUNTRY
CORRECT old entry|new entry

The "distribution tag" should be lower case.  The others should be upper case
iff they have been defined elsewhere as a distribution.  If it *has* been
defined, then please use the actual distribution tag.

If a distribution has *not* been defined, then please spell out the name,
in lower case, (DO NOT USE YOUR POSTAL CODE) and mark it with an asterisk (*).
See "crl"  for an example of this.

The first word after the colon (:) should describe the word before the colon
completely.  The first character after the colon is a space, one space only.

Thanks!

Andy
