Not every site has access to "mkpath" or copies of the net.news.map
files.  Indeed, there are many sites which aren't listed in the news
maps because they don't get news.

I currently have 3 or 4 different databases with routing and site name
information in them.  Let me make the following offer:  If you are
starting a new site, or if you are asked to offer a contact to a news
site, let me know what the site name is and I will tell you if the name
is currently in any of the databases to which I have access.  Note that
I cannot make the claim that the name is unique, because there is
simply no way of determining that fact.  However, I will be able to
claim that the name isn't used in any of the major lists currently
circulating about the network.  Too bad I can't get copies of ihnp4's
list too....

Also, unless you indicate otherwise, I'll make pass your site name
and such along to Rob Kolstad at parsec for inclusion in his master
database there.  I realise that there are some sites whose names
are not to be made public knowledge due to internal security
reasons, so be sure to specify if you fall into that category.

So, send your name and two boxtops to:
