- HEATHER (vbace@UWYO.EDU) did mindlessly rant:
-
- : The Internet provides yet another way to be on top.
-
- That's not legal in North Carolina, so you'll want to fix your
- Distribution header to have a negative distribution for all NC sites.
- It's very easy, and here's how.
-
- For instance, in order to prevent articles from getting to NCSU, you
- would set the header to look like this:
-
- Distribution: -ncsu
-
- The news software will interpret this as meaning that the post is to go
- everywhere but NCSU. To prevent the article from propogating in the
- United States, you would set the header to look like this:
-
- Distribution: -us
-
- As you can see, that little "-" will make a world of difference when you
- post, as it can also prevent your articles from reaching certain sites,
- thereby bypassing certain people and not allowing them to comment on your
- post.
-
- Hope this helps.
