**Flame on**

Can we all try to make it a habit of including the ip address in
numeric form whenever we specify a site?

For example, "you can get it on cica.cica.indiana.edu (129.79.20.22)".

I get so frustrated when I read a note that doesn't include the numeric
address.  Please don't assume that everyone reading your response has
access to a lookup table or that their system knows about the site by
name alone.

It is easy to forget that the rest of the world isn't as knowledgeable as
we.
