[net.news] Huh? Backslashes??

alb (02/19/83)

Take a look at hp-pcd.688 and hp-pcd.689 -- The addresses are:
...!hp-pcd!kirk\!russ
The articles are from notesfiles, most probably explaining why
the address doesn't match the Article-I.D. (or it may just be
a very poor attempt at forgery), but why are the backslashes
in there?  I have not tried responding back along that path.
