Question: which *city* is the meeting in? The Organization: line
lists West Hill, but the .sig lists Toronto. The 'tor' distribution
reaches the Metro Toronto area, not just the City of Toronto:
it would be nice if one didn't end up at the wrong St. George Street.

The net is bigger than you remember. Be specific.

For example, I had a complaint from a user that our fax didn't work,
because we could not deliver to the fax number someone had posted
in a message. The phone number was correct, and our fax was working
fine: the problem was that the phone number was written in the
standard format for use from within the UK, and the user did not
think of needing the UK's country code. With the missing '44',
and the particular phone number in question, our fax machine was
rightly complaining because there was no fax machine at the number
it was reaching in China.

Avoid confusion: remember to add your city, and even country.
Remember the '1' at the beginning of phone numbers: it makes the
difference between Toronto, Canada and Bourne, Switzerland.
