Sites "cfib" and "cfiB" are in fact the same site, and the all lower case
name is the true one.  They changed their name about a year ago exactly
because some mailers (including the one at ima, for reasons that make it
complicated to change) do not distinguish case.

The two [Oo]lympuses I couldn't say, but while we're discussing poorly
chosen site names, I have to nominate site "x" at CRDS.  Evidently it's
supposed to be an internal name only, but its name escapes in news all the
time.
