Why do all proline contributors to info-apple leave off an essential
component of their addresses?

1) 'cts' (Crash Time Sharing) is not directly connected to the Internet -
   a fact that's not going to bother anyone who IS actually on the Internet,
   BUT that INET address above will get BOUNCED to anyone trying to reach
   'cts' from BITNet

2) The MX (Mail eXchanger) for 'cts' is 'nosc.mil' (something I'm aware of
   but is practically guaranteed to stump many <especially new> BITNet users).

3) billp%pro-freedom.cts.com@nosc.mil works from BITNet (and is essentially
   what an Internet mail exchanger will produce, so it really IS the correct
   rendering -- technically not as correct as
   @nosc.mil:billp@pro-freedom.cts.com -- but many BITNet mailers can't
   digest that either.

In short would you all on pro-lines please add @nosc.mil at the end of
your INET addresses so "Bitnauts" (users of BITNet; I didn't coin that -
complain to the CS Department at MAINE.BITNet about that one) can find
you (without asking me how 8-) ??
