Now that rpi.edu is running C news, we are now in the position of being able
to receive news without a Lines: header.  I just read my first such article,
with a Path: like so:

image.soe.clarkson.edu!rpi!brutus.cs.uiuc.edu!psuvax1!psuvm!cunyvm!maine.bitnet

The implication is that all these sites are running C news, or some other
news software that doesn't write Lines: headers.  I wonder what is the longest
path for an article without a Lines: header?  Or rather, what is the longest
path in terms of sites rather than characters?
