I think that this naming strategy would just confuse people. It would result in a lot of crossposted material (or incorrectly posted stuff). If the traffic volume on seattle.general gets large enough, I think it is a better idea to create groups pertaining to the topic(s) that are responsible for most of the volume. Currently, the only topic I can think of that would fit this description would be "seattle.politics". -- David Barts N5JRN UW Civil Engineering, FX-10 davidb@ce.washington.edu Seattle, WA 98195
