I'm as open as ever to va.alexandria if that's what most folks favor. Doubt 
that anyone really worries that much about us.*--not when we already have 
dc.general, va.general, and scads of similarly named groups all over the 
country. 

My own favorite remains alexandria.news since it sounds friendlier, and 
since formal distribution would be local (yes, I'm aware that many ISPs 
pick up groups all from all over the place). 

But, yes, I can appreciate the Netwide perspective.

Folks, speak up! *No* one agrees with alexandria.news? If so, then is 
va.alexandria the winner? I doubt that folks in Alexandria, Egypt, or 
Alexandria, La., would worry about that one :-;.

Thanks to Craig and everyone else for the feedback. Keep it coming.

To bring late arrivals up to date, this proposal is for "an unmoderated 
local newsgroup devoted to life, politics, schools, libraries, business 
issues, and everything else in the city of Alexandria, Virginia--an 
uncensored forum where citizens can thrash out local controversies, and the 
city government can post announcements and responses."
