Class (1) includes unix-wizards, bugs, mail, etc etc. I.e., the "net" root should be split into two. I haven't seen any reaction to my previous couple of poastings urging the need for this; maybe the messages didn't get out, or maybe noone cares. It will be increasingly important (I think) for those sites where telephone bills come to be questioned. Julian Davies (the guy who pays some of the bills here) {uwo|deepthot}!julian
