Sorry for weighing in late on this, but my personal opinion after some
consideration is that

finger://host1.bigstate.edu/someuser

is preferable to finger:someuser@host1.bigstate.edu

and that
finger://host2.bigstate.edu/someuser@host1.bigstate.edu

is preferable to finger someuser@host1.bigstate.edu@host2.bigstate.edu

i.e., that what appears after the "//" is the FQDN of the host to
connect to, and that what appears after the subsequent "/" is whatever
gets sent to the finger port at that site.
