        Ed, is there any reason why the UUCP name of a site can not be
maintained (or any other made-up name for that matter) and just list the
person's name in the Organization line (ie. John Smith's Private UUCP Node)
and let the mailing address fields distinguish the John Smiths.  I guess
I'm confused as to why I could not become lemsys.kitchener.on.ca.  You
imply that I would have to become lemon.kitchener.on.ca.  That wouldn't
please me :-).  Am I misunderstanding your point or ignorant of some domain
registration rule?
