It is garbled here too and the paths are only common after:

	harvard!seismo!cmcl2!rna!dan

So that should restrict it down to one of those 4 systems.

Can I make a suggestion that posters put a reasonable distribution on this
type of message.  If all the sites in the path are in North America then
is it really necessary to tell Europe and Australia about our old software?
