What does this mean, Austin?  If you can show me where I claimed that
they only *real* part of DC was Adams-Morgan, I will gladly defer to
your misguided attempt at sarcasm.

Anybody who lives within the District lines would qualify as a person
who lives in DC.  I don't care if they live in Barry Farms.

Virginia and Maryland already have newsgroups.  Also, the other city
newsgroups are usually part of a state in which everyone supports,
including, often, its suburban counterparts.

And, I am fully aware that suburbanites "can't be kept out".  I was
hoping that whoever wrote the charater lived.in.dc.

I guess just myself.  And anyone else who believes anything related to
DC will be controlled by those who actually live in DC, as opposed to
those who live in the often postured "DC Metro Area".

A lot of people realize that DC, and the DC metro area, are vastly
different entities, with different demographics, problems, and
interests.

Both of my news servers suck.  What can I say?  Sometimes I have to read
on one, and post on the other because of "no=permission" errors, "no
space left to write" errors, and general timouts.

When possible, I try to maintain the original thread, and I think that
in the vast majority of cases, I have.
