The rules for source routing are explicit in the syntactic definition they must use. !-path routes do not constitute a source route. If you hand me <@here,@there,@everywhere:user@elsewhere>, I'll (probably) obey it. (Right after I clean up the mess I made by tossing my cookies all over my desk, of course.) But if you want respect granted a source route... ...PRESENT IT TO ME AS A SOURCE ROUTE. !-paths don't qualify. -- I think that everyone's brains get scrambled one way or another. --Killashandra Ree
