OK -- I'll make it simple. When your users route to nodes in the usenet map,
and my nodes are in the list, your mail gets routed to the next node via
the quickest route, usually via internet. This takes hours or days off of
delivery.  If uucp users become so pesky, this service may go away.  The
concept of an internet was to be all networks seamlessly integrated. Folks
at Berkeley ought to know that! Besides why do usenet people register in
domain .COM. Why don't they register in domain .UUCP? This way we could filter
out uu traffic altogether :-).
