I agree.  Let's compare notes.  Do a traceroute to me and post the results
here again, since I don't have the old ones.  Give me your IP address and
let me do a traceroute to you.  Looks like someone has a bad route, at least
from your direction, so it will be interesting to see what happens when things
start on this end...
