	i am constrained to point out that while maryland donated the
land to the district of columbia, and while there are many who would
vote to recind that gift (an option) if d.c. insists and succedes to
gain get congress to grant statehood, d.c. is NOT (still) a part of
maryland, at this time, although that * may * be subject to change in
the future....

	and this *is* dc.general.  something i noted.  i was poking 
around in the rnrsc of nature.berkeley.edu, and was rather supprised
to find almost all the dc.*.groups listed!
	it would appear that regardless of your distribution attributes,
the groups' posts go out where ever they want.  i post a local add about
a local charity related event and carefully set the distribution to d.c.,
and md., and received a response from oregon and washington state, each.
	(talk about drifting off course!!!)
	another opinion, worth what you paid for it!
	as always, i am/at:
