As it turns out, I mailed a message to splut!fulcrum!root, suggesting
that he needed to change his machine name. He replied that he was
shutting down his machine for a while, and that I could turn off his
feed. If he remains in the Houston area, when he gets back on the net,
he will have a different name - hopefully, one that isn't already in
use. (I can't check, since I don't keep all of comp.mail.maps around.)
I've submitted an updated map entry to the Texas coordinator, and will
try to forward misdirected mail in the meantime.

Sorry about the confusion.
