Sorry to have singled you out, but Honeyman is (again ) wrong
in his assumption that "allegra is the official uucp route
server for the atlantic states" ... My point was that from ucbvax's
point of view, allegra is the best way to get to .ATL ... now,
for other people, seismo might be better ... in any case, the "best"
way to get to an area depends on where you are coming from. There
are no "official" servers for my scheme to domain uucp. You get
there how ever you want, but keep it out of the address.
