Whoop! whoop!  Danger Will Robinson! Newsgroup leakage alert!

If anyone ever happens to crosspost to a mainstream group as well as
your local.* group, there is a damn good chance that their posting
will turn up in local.* on sites right around the globe.
Anyone who uses the name local.* is asking for wierd and mysterious
postings to turn up from time to time

Personally, I name all local groups after my bbs, or area.
( dawghaus.* and manawatu.* )
