I look at it like this:  The routing part seems a carryover from the
dialup days when long distance calls cost money.  With todays connection
methods (other than dialup), why route anything.  All that really does
is drastically increase the odds that something will break along the way
and the message won't get delivered.  Why not just send it direct?  I
can see no good reason to *EVER* route a netmail.  Echomail is a
completely different story, of course.
