[aprssig] Why use this path?

[Richard Montgomery]

I'm not sure I understand this path. It comes from a ham in Maine (yes 
Maine) and I see it lots down here in Tennessee. Now I'm sure its being 
gated from an Igate closer to me, but still, I dont really WANT to see 
these packets. I have sent messages but no answer. I have seen him 22 
times today at my home QTH using this path. In looking at findu.com for 
stations near this ham, it seems a lot of users have his callsign in 
their paths also.

Maybe someone can explain why this path is being used.

Thanks
Richard
