It only seems to be certain parts of ATT that have the attitude that they
own the entire UUCP network.  I've gotten messages about sites I used to
be the administrator for that since the sites weren't registered with the
official ATT registry at ihnp4, that they weren't validly registered and
therefore the conflicting names could belong to ATT sites even if the sites
had been in existence for multiple years.

Perhaps the registry at ihnp4 should keep a copy of the UUCP Project registry
to avoid future problems.
