My "Enlightenment" included some of the following reprimands: 1. I should make use of geographical news groups for such information. 2. I should post such information to net.misc. 3. My information was not of general interest so should not have been posted to net.general. These responses bring to mind the following questions: 1. Could someone inform me as to the availability and use of geographically limited news groups? 2. What is the appropriate use of net.misc verses net.general? Thanks for your attention, Rick Moll ..!ihnp4!afinitc!rbm
