[nos-bbs] White Pages again ...

[Jack Eifer]

Maiko,

Yep, the hierarchical addressing is still largely in use. My Jnos gateway receives 
dozens of wpage bulletins, daily. 

Many gateway users don't understand how to properly haddress packet messages, or
they make gross addressing errors. Having a Jnos White Page feature would go a
long way in resolving alot of user haddress ills.
