- Why do you find the domain style addressing we use as stupid?
- If my mail path is rusty@mstn.b17d.ingr.com, this means I use
- mstn as my mail-node, and my domain is building 17d, which is
- part of intergraph, which is a commercial site. There are .gov,
- .edu, .mil, .org ,in the US, and .can for Canada and a .su for the Soviet
- Union (somewhat outdated) and many more for communication around the
- world. Access to the Internet is both a privledge and a honor to
- have, considering the amount of information exchange that goes on,
- and what you can learn from people who either have answers or experience.
- I suggest you find a public ftp account and get a FAQ or an internet
- guide to learn what it is all about before you criticize. One thing
- to learn is how to minimize the noise level in newgroups (useless postings
- that contain no real information, and take up bandwidth). I hope this
- posting was educational, and beneficial to this newgroup.
