I noticed a new site posting for "mickey". The name "mickey" is already
used (by the Disney Company).  Duplicate site names are common occurances
in news.newsites, but they always get filtered out before they make it 
into the maps. A workable method even if the turn-around time is a
little long (and yes I know the mapping project is working on
improving that). However in this case the new "mickey" is connected to
uunet. Shouldn't someone at uunet be checking the maps before they
connect a new site? Any other site could be excused but much of the
net counts on uunet as an authoritative source for routing.
