Confusion & The USENET Map
There seems to be some confusion about the difference between UUCP and
the USENET.  Although the USENET is closely tied to UUCP, it is a logical
network of computers that exchange news articles over a few different
networks, including UUCP, Berknet, and ARPANET.  When filling out USENET
directory forms, the majority of people tend to put UUCP connections
down rather than USENET connections.  People also have tried sending
me stuff for Lauren Weinstein's UUCP Map.

Concerning the USENET map:  I've noticed lately that people have been
getting nervous about the map and abandoning it.  Well, it still exists
and I am currently in the process of updating it.  It was starting to
get really hairy so I've come up with a new strategy whereby installations,
not individual machines, will be represented and then submaps can be
integrated easily.  I'd like to hear anybody's comments or questions
on this matter.

I plan to sen out a "Last Call For Systems" article before broadcasting
the map & directory again.
