Speaking of att.com's recent decision to cease support for third-party mail,
must they burden the maps with their (DEDICATED) internal machines?-)
As far as saving the names for att, who cares (much:-) what internal names
they use. dweebish.att.com is a nice fully qualified domain name; it shouldn't
conflict with dweebish.drelb.com even a teensy. Let 'em unregister the names
so we can all grab the good ones. (All the good ones are taken ...)

Reading the maps is wholesome fun. Did you know there is a site named
f**kup in Europe (where is left as an excercise for the reader).

Regards,
Mike
