Because when it was .../netscape_negotiated-2 the netscape browser
displayed "Netsite" instead of "Location" up in the left hand corner.
We did not want people to think we were running netsite when we were
not. Brian noticed this, doh!

We realized that the former caused Netscape to think we were running
the netsite server :) (i.e., "Location:" next to the URL became
"Netsite:")

I wish Cliff wouldn't mess with the server name....
