There are a lot of threads on this list about local resources: where
to buy cable X or recycle equipment Z. Free hardware, u haul -
locally. "Locally" has always meant the Greater Seattle area.

Sure, a lot of people on the list have moved away. But they all know
that on this Seattle Linux List, most discussions are centered around
the Puget Sound.

Advertising it to the world would increase the volume and dilute the
local aspect. There are tons of non-localized lists already out there:
distribution-specific, software-specific,.... What makes this list
special (and worth keeping up on) is the fact that it's local.

Please keep advertising this as the Seattle Linux List. Don't make it
generic, It would lose all its appeal.
