  But we're only talking about 3:711/934, Paul. You *know* how many
Rod Speeds there are here, and what his real point address is.

  The problem comes if someone sends netmail to Rod Speed with the
address 3:711/934.12 and means me.

  If you remap everything with "Rod Speed" to his point, then you 
might be doing the wrong thing if the sender has used the wrong name, 
and you shouldn't... but if you remap everything to Rod Speed only if 
it does not have a point address (ie just 3:711/934) then you have a 
fail-safe system. If the address is insufficient... then you remap.
You would not be interfering with normal addressing.

  If I send netmail to Rod from the PCUG board, then I have to address 
3:711/934... without a point number. If you don't remap, he'll never 
get it.
