I don't find it that amazing.....it is at it's minimum, an
attempt to give users what I feel is the most lacking piece
of information they need to make use of the networks -- a
network directory. Until X.500 services are wide spread *and*
go across networks (if ever), people will keep trying to use
what is available. (do you get the feeling you hit a nerve with
me?)
