Well if you're reading news you can probably look in the map files.  Say
d.usa.va.1 and find (from the horses mouth as it were).

#N	.uu.net, uunet
#O	UUNET Communications Services

Ordinarily I'd chide something like this posting but in this case the
chance to tweak at something that might sound like Internet chauvinism to
the uninitiated is too much to resist.  As Henry Mensch points out the
number for the postmaster at uunet is hardly secret and is readily
available to those who know where to look.  Rich was being cautious not
coy, albeit unnecessarily so.

Shoot I thought everybody read those maps as bedtime stories.
