Note the first one shows "uunet!w3vh!5unet" in the path. I thought this was pretty incriminating in itself :-) Then the second article came in with the same mangled path. It's interesting that only some occurences of 'u' get changed to '5'. A uuwho shows that w3vh is a 286 running Microport System V (ugh).
