Ha. I strongly support such idea, but there are still many sites around
which did not managed to get FQDN. maybe we should use it as an opprtunity 
to convert all bang-sites to FQDN's ? 


Let's see; I am not aware of any site in Cleveland without FQDN; all systems
getting feed from me are welcome to use subdomain of wariat.org; there is at
least almost a dozen of other domains here - nshore.orc, ncoast.org, 
hernix.org, raubix.org, tiny.com, - lotsa of space.  

If there are systems in Cleveland or in Ohio which want to convert to 
FQDN, they might do the following: 
	- use one of existing domains 
		- in case of wariat.org, it is granted for every site
		  getting a feed from me; beware that I charge for feeds... 

	- use existing domain; oh.us is maintained locally by OAR-folks... 
        	I am sure they will help in it. 

	- create a new domain; I would be willing to run one of nameservers
	  ( rather secondary if someone else will take on the job of being a
	  primary; if not then heck,  junior will carry primary job ); 
	  I can also run MX for some sites it will make sense in Cleveland 
	  area. This way, instead of maintaining maps for Ohio, and distri-
	  buting them, we will maintain only one set of DNS records - 
		what about 
			ohio-uucp.org ??? 
		

Can we set up a target date of 3 months to convert all sites to FQDN, and 
then drop maps for Ohio like Kiwi did already ??
