| The problem is that there is no strictly defined way of defining the
| number of forward hops a message has taken.  People trim the Subject

| the forwarded message in their own special way.

I think he may have ment the number of addresses in the Cc: field, but I
could be wrong.

 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of
