I recently was asked about a checkgroups message for local groups. I'm
not aware of one. So I've attempted to create one. Below is a list
of all groups in all the PNW geographical hierarchies that I know of.
I've left off the university-specific groups (orst, uwash).

If you know of a hierarchy or group that's been left off, please let 
me know.

Hierarchies:

bc	British Columbia, Canada
or	Oregon, USA
pdx	Portland, Oregon, USA
pdaxs	Portland, Oregon, USA
