Should be fine. I'll send you a $1 for each complaint :')

Good question. Maybe a group for SE NY State would be better

They could, but I don't think its necessary. I'd jsut leave them as
lugnet.loc.us.ny.suf and lugnet.loc.us.ny.nas

Looks great, although I don't see the necessity of adding the county names for

other cities. EX: Youngstown, Mahoning County, Ohio, U.S.A. - you'd drive
yourself nuts getting all the county names!
