I don't think so. This is an alias function, rather than a path-scanning
thing, so it would be checking the articles' Message-Id: header instead 
of the Path: header. (I don't know everything, though, so I could be wrong.)

I don't think anatolia or zuma are connected at all right now, but apparently
they were leaf sites with few other connections besides mn.org. I have no
idea how well connected feline is, but I really doubt that I'll miss a percent
or so of net traffic by having done this. Eliminating anatolia/zuma will 
probably make a larger reduction in my traffic, by a long shot. Articles 
get dropped all the time anyway, for various reasons.
