	Thats a bit harsh don't you think?  Did you ever think we just might
	be trying to get registered?  No I think not.  In any case

	*.AdhocNet.CA was a name we 'cooked up' when our network was
	in its infancy.  We are attempting to register as .MtRoyal.AB.CA
	but that has not yet gone through (its been over 2 months now).

	UNCANET.BITNET knows about us as well as Calgary.uucp  our address is

	...!calgary!janus.mrc.adhocnet.ca!username 

	...or...

	user%janus.mrc.adhocnet.ca@uncanet.bitnet

	hope this helps.
