Gene Spaf has hit the nail on the head with his comments about addresses.
There has been a flurry of items from parsec!smu!leff that has neither name
or address.  SMU cannot be reached via parsec from my computor.  Also the
received path does not seem to work as I have sent several replies to SMU
without receiving an answer.

I always put a path that should work in my signature, although I am not sure
it does.  It would be useful for netnews to automatically indicate the
network address that will work.
