Oh, you *are* paranoid!

Until recently, I used to put ``usa'' (later ``na'', now nothing) as
distributions on articles I would post advertising stuff available via
anonymous ftp simply because very few persons outside the usa could
ftp to us.  This has now changed and I don't bother with distributions
anymore...

That's one case...
