cbosgd!mark is a bit worried about anarchy and picking nodenames; indeed, I DID search net.news.map for a conflict with the name hpuxa before assigning it to the South Plainfield machine in consonance with the Bell standard. This should cause little problem with the usenet community in general, since hpuxa does not originate, receive, or forward netnews. Astute readers of headers will note that this message originates on pyuxll, which IS a dues-paying usenet node. We are registered with the action/central folks at ihnp4, and they seemed to have little difficulty with the hpuxa designation. I do concur with Mark that somebody in the BTL organization seems to be in love with the letter H, and I apologize to the folks at Hewlett-Packard for the unseemliness of the node name, but there it is. If you want to pretend that the node doesn't exist, fine -- just send my mail to pyuxll as you have in the past. Indeed, I may have received and responded to a recent mail message of Mark's from hpuxa, but if I did it was routed through pyuxll both incoming and outgoing. =Ned=
