RE: [leafnode-list] What the hell is that?

["Bulgrien, Kevin" <Kevin.Bulgrien@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess I should have said... this whole line of reasoning is based on the
fact that I, and maybe most leafnode users might probably only be fiddling
with a news server as a hobby activity, or to share news with one or more 
personal computers.

I grant that if I am trying to use a news server for any kind of serious
use on large networks, it is more understandable that one should actually
expect to have to work out FQDN issues more, ummmm, carefully.
