The idea of letting each user be in a domain all to himself,
with these domains non-hierarchically arranged.

Propaganda:
    
    UIUC runs the "ph" nameserver in conjunction with email. You can
    reach me at many reasonable combinations of my name and nicknames,
    including:

    	andrew-forsyth-glew@uiuc.edu
    	andy-glew@uiuc.edu
    	sticky-glue@uiuc.edu

    and a few others. "ph" is a very nice thing which more USEnet
    sites should use. There is an info-ph mailing list, or, contact
    Steve-Dorner@uiuc.edu.
