Until "something comes up" and your users and/or customers are sunk. I'm the "IT department" for a small company that does local classified ads. No news, just classified ads -- cars, boats, quilts, that kind of thing. Local interest only? There are paying customers who subscribe to the online edition of this paper from many countries around the world, from Ireland to Malaysia. I would really hesitate to block email by geographic location alone; you never know where your customers are going to come from. Even if it's a locally performed service like plumbing or siding installation -- perhaps someone is moving to your area and doing some advance planning and you could miss the opportunity to provide a quote or information and gain a customer. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
