I would imagine an empty PATH kludge would be better than inserting the bossnode's 2D address *before* it gets to the bossnode!

Someone did notice that the correct way to write the PATH (without addresses) is "^APATH:<space>" and Synchronet seems to be writing "^APATH:", so maybe that is the only issue?

Do messages coming from these display at the boss node if it's address is already in the PATH? Or do they get forwarded on without being stored in the message base?
