For those who may wonder WHY!? :
 Site "lanierrnd" has been bitten too often by the bug in some
uucp systems which allow only 6 or 7 characters in a site name.
A long site name often causes lost mail.

P.S.  There is no truth to the rumor that "GALBP" stands for
"Georgia Light Bulb [Joke] Perpetrators"

Cheers,
