Wait a minute.  Do I understand that if one person gets mail id JSMITH, there
is nothing to prevent someone else from getting JSMITH?  That if you send to
his mail id, you have to wade through a list of Smiths and pick one?  Good
grief - what do you do if you routinely send mail to someone and don't want
to wade through every time?  What about gatewaying from the outside world -
say UUCP or ARPANET mail, or a smart front end program in a PC that goes into
the background?

I haven't gotten my welcome packet yet - it's been almost two weeks.  Maybe
it will all become clear soon enough.
