"Ron Lel" in ...
snipped Please be aware that [alt.food.wine] is an international news groupd and don't be parochial. . Ron Lel The traditional, possibly more constructive advice for this situation, for very many years, has been to make use of the "distribution" field when posting the news article. That has been used commonly in the past to limit its geographical distribution. (For many years the SF Bay Area was designated "ba" there.) As I haven't tried it lately, I'll leave it to someone to comment from recent experience, if any. |

Ron Lel The traditional, possibly more constructive advice ... has been to make use of the "distribution" field when posting the news article. That has been used commonly in the past to limit its geographical distribution. ... Local source pointed out that distribution limits, though provided for in article format, are ineffective in recent years (of the post-HTML newsgroup world). I am still trying to make amends for doing the same thing Ron Lel did, in the past. An advertisement appeared internationally, giving only local phone numbers in New Jersey (US): SKIS 4/SALE and I responded, more or less like Ron Lel. The ad is still there, in the archives, along with my response (21 years ago exactly). As a further note, here in the US we have named many places to honor those elsewhere. A few offhand examples from memory are New Jersey, New York, New London, Boston, Plymouth, Syracuse, Ithaca, New Orleans, New Iberia (Louisiana), Athens (Georgia), Canton (Ohio), Paris (Texas), Vienna (Virginia), Moscow (Idaho), Melbourne (Florida), and Brisbane (California). These namings betoken a nontrivial element of respect. Cheers -- Max |
