Karl, what'chu been smokin' boy?

!-routes are too source routes!  Not within the rfc-822 frame of source
routes, but within the rfc-976 frame of view.  Just as IP has it's
own view of what source routes are, so does UUCP and domain-land.

The things that Aydin quoted are very good points by which to live.
