[aprssig] Abusive path lists

Agreed.
We need someone to do a FINDU study... that plots all
IGates and all DIGIS including their PHG circles.  THen
we can zoom in and see where there are more than 8
hops between IGates (4 either way). 

Maybe a better analysis approach would be to search
FINDU for the arrival of all WIDE5-X packets where
X is not 0.  If 99% of all WIDE5-5 packets are reaching
FINDU with a hop count less than 5-0, then they dont
need 5-5 in the first place.

Bob,

What I would ask, along this line, is where are the I-Gates. If there 
are I-Gates all along the major highways and are reachable in 2, 3, or
4 
hops, then true, truckers would not need 5-5. Or any traveler for that

matter.

In My cross country traveling, I would say, once out of the metro
areas, 
you can drive for 100's of miles and there is no I-Gates. There area 
really desolate areas yet.

I would suggest that we try to fill these areas and give the traveler a

better reason not to use the extra long paths when they know better 
right now. When they do contact their families and find that they lost

them a few days ago, the traveler has a tendency to boost the power and

increase their hops. It is human nature, right?

Just a thought, not to provide a solution before asking them to 
intentionally remove them from the IS isn't right... IMHO
