After noticing that one of the maps (for 'icus') carried this line, I grepped my entire maps directory to see how many other sites are using the same notation: #F uunet #F seismo.css.gov #F seismo.css.gov #F uunet.uu.net #F seismo.css.gov #F uunet.uu.net #F snow.white.utoronto.ca #F watcgl.waterloo.edu #F a.cs.uiuc.edu #F rutgers.edu . . .....and so on, for over 400 sites. So alot of people are using it, it would seem. Which causes me to wonder..... Since I found no reference to this convention in README, what's the deal? And what *exactly* does the 'F' stand for? 'F'orwarding gateway for internet mail? Also, is it "official"?
