Ah'm just a simpul country lawyuh <snuffle>, but isn't the following true? * If I am site X, and site Y is a direct neighbor of mine whom I poll daily or better (maybe better than anyone else if it's worse than daily), but I see a piece of incoming mail of the form a!b!X!c!d!e!Y!f!g, then it's reasonable for me to reroute it as a!b!X!Y!f!g. * If my link to site Y is sick, then I ought to respect the longer path. * If no site in the bang path is a direct neighbor of mine, then I ought to consult pathalias for the link to the site named rightward of mine, and leave the rest of it the hell alone. * In the first case mentioned above, if site Y does not know me by name (i.e., the bang path is not reversible), then I ought to respect the longer supplied path. [I think this is where most mail bounces these days, no?] -- "My God, Thiokol, when do you \\ Tom Neff want me to launch -- next April?" \\ uunet!bfmny0!tneff
