Thus, while cbosgd could be found at d.osg.cb.btl.uucp, it could just as easily be known as cbosgd.osg.cb.btl.uucp, or even cbosgd.btl.uucp . Depending on how you think of things, the site name could be either cbosgd (the leftmost name) or the full path (cbosgd.btl.uucp). Sort of like deciding whether I work for "Bell Laboratories" or "Bell Laboratories, 6200 E. Broad St, Columbus, Ohio, 43213". They didn't rename the company when Zip Codes were invented.
