Well, it came close.  I saw the original here in Minneapolis.  But I
don't think it is distance that really makes the difference.  I think
most major sites (e.g. the U of MN) generally ignore distribution
lines (as they realize it will have a negligible impact on their
traffic), but smaller sites (often those not carrying the alt 
hierarchy or pictures groups) often restrict based on distribution.
Does St. Tom carry everything but restrict based on distribution
anyway, or did I hit the nail on the head?

What this has to do with pets by this point is beyond me.
