- Yes and it's a pity...
-
- That's another reason why warwick.uucp is still in the maps, even though we
- haven't run UUCP for many a year. It makes our long/lat available.
-
- Perhaps we need an alternative way to register long/lat data for Brian
- to make use of?
-
- The other reason (as previously mentioned) is so it's unlikely that
- anyone else will start using that name, causing problems with loop
- detection in the Path: header.
