That's OK, Sean.  We'll continue to accept traffic from all sources to 
ont.general, tor.general, torfree.general, and so on.

We get postings from outside asking for information on hotels, eating 
places, local events, politics, weather, searching for lost friends .. 
and even sometimes suggestions that we don't do everything perfectly out 
here.  (We point out the errors in such suggestions, of course).

But if Manitoba wants to throw up the barricades, that suits me fine, 
although my original objective was to relay a posting made from Winnipeg 
that didn't go to Manitoba newsgroups; it was about a police-related 
occurence in Winnipeg, and I thought it might be of interest to residents 
of your province; I had found it posted in alt.toronto.

I trust your policy fairly represents the feelings of your fellow 
Manitobans.
