All of the old minix articles I've seen and checked here (I've seen well over 
1000 in just one day, but haven't checked them all) have had

	sdd.hp.com!hp-col!col!hpcc05!hplabs

in the middle of the path; there are various other hosts at either end of
this string, so my guess is that some machine within HP is sending this
stuff out (unless 'col' isn't an HP machine). I've seen these going back
to February 1990.

Sigh. I'm getting real sick of having my junk directory fill up. I know,
C-news will be fixed at some point in the future. Waiting with great
anticipation......
