Bob,

As I explained previously, all users are setup to receive an email when topics are posted in their district by default. Anyone who wants to subscribe to notifications in the other forums and districts are welcome to, but not every one does. Posting in a particular district forum is a means of automatically emailing users in that district. The district posts do not get displayed on the right side under the "Recent Posts" box.

That is the reason for multiple posts in the district forums.
