The major problem (and possibly advantage) of Usenet is that random
additions to the network take place. No naming scheme will allow
addresses to remain fixed if anyone is allowed to add any host name to
a network at will. Some governing body must allocate names if order is
to be maintained. If people do not want to have some central network
operations center, than chaos will be a fact of life.
