You're right.  I tried it again and it didn't work.  That response was taken
from a response I got from a list on Bitnet (can't remember which one).
I take it that UUCPnode!node.bitnet!userid would work if the UUCP node knows
what to do witht the rest of the address (such as psuvax1, I was told, would).
