Ah come on, Clarence! :>
The route each e-mail takes can vary from message to message, even if it
is the same message being sent via mailing list to different people.
And the number of 'hops' doesn't determine when they arrive either.
Sometimes the "shortest route" ends up taking the longest, thus proving
once again that the shortest distance between two points is *not* a
straight line.
