Are you saying that when I wanted some info on the LEGO stores in Manhattan I
should have posted to:
lugnet.loc.us.ny.ny.man, lugnet.loc.us.ny.ny, lugnet.loc.us.ny, lugnet.loc.us
?
I'm not an expert on the posting rules... What will be the result of such a
post? Is this kind of distribution desirable?
