As Scott said (in another un-quoted note), distribution headers
work just as well as you make them work.  Either some gateway
between regions is intentionally passing on articles with a
distribution of 'tor', or perhaps your site has even requested
such articles.  Don't blame software that does exactly what
it's told to do.  If people have conflicting requirements, then
that's the way things are!

However, please do not forget that one of the primary purposes
of these announcements is to let others outside of this region
know what's happening here.

Also, as you may, or may not know, the newsgroup can.usrgroup
is actually a gateway between Usenet and the e-mail list
<unix-unanimous@moore.com>.  This gateway provides a link
between those of us who receive both news and mail, and those
who receive mail only.  Since can.usrgroup has national
distribution, this provides a medium for people to look in on
what we do in this silly city, and thus fulfills the other goal
mentioned above.

We (UniForum Canada & UNIX Unanimous) encourage other UNIX
related groups, formal or informal, from anywhere in Canada, to
post notices, questions, comment, and other information to
can.usrgroup.  In fact, IMHO, I don't even mind seeing notices
from our neighbours to the South!

Note this is not intended to imply that either can.usrgroup, or
the unix-unanimous mailing list are in any way the direct
responsibility of UniForum Canada.  However, I also wouldn't
want you to forget that UNIX Unanimous is officially affiliated
with UniForum Canada, and UniForum Canada was directly involved
with the creation of can.usrgroup.  It is rumored that our
long-time director and benafactor Peter Renzland was a prime
architect of both, Paul Maclauchlan of Moore Corp. took on the
challenge of running the mailing list, and Dave Mason at TM
Software Assoc. provides the gateway service.

Also note:  If I receive notices in sufficient time, they can
be published in UniForum Canada's sometimes-monthly newsletter
"README".  Comment, questions, opinion, and articles are also
accepted!
