Why then did you post to .general [being for general interest] and not to
.loc.us [for items of specific interest to US residents as opposed to the
rest of the world]?

Ben is 100% correct here.  No real harm done, but if this is really a US-only
thing, then the discussion should migrate there.  An initial announcement
crossposting to .general and .loc.us probably ought to be tolerated if it
has followups set to .loc.us for something like this.  (But maybe the original
poster didn't realize it was a US-only thing.)

You are correct Todd. I didn't realize it was a US only thing until the
question was asked.

Sorry.
