Â*Â* In this particular case, a long part of the Path is the same. Normally
it's only one or two !-parts.
Â*Â* The rest of the Path shows how the post got from the origin to your
news server. Because Joerg and you use a different news server, that
part of the Path is different.
The injection point is: news.highwinds-media.com, a typical troll-server.
Well, I have been using news.aioe.org and freenews.netfront.net for a
long time, and I'm certainly no troll. I simply do not like to pay and
my ISP does no longer provide nntp.
Thus I make nothing of using a free server.
If a name shifter uses always the same server, well, that's a clue, but
not definitive. Posting from there is not definitive.
