- I have seen dfw messages go far and wide. I have seen tx messages replied
- to from the west and east coast. I sometimes wonder about the distribution
- of the "local" newsgroups.
The idea behind the test post was to see just how far and wide
it does go. With the responses I have seen, I have been able to plug
a couple of holes, thus making sure that the dfw _distribution_ is
more likely to be restricted to dfw.
[Remember, there is a difference between the dfw _distribution_ and
the dfw _hierarchy_. This is attempting to limit the _distribution_,
not the _hierarchy_, which can go as far and as wide as the
distributions used in articles allow it (aka, world)]
