	Take a look at hp-pcd.688 and hp-pcd.689 -- The addresses are:
	...!hp-pcd!kirk\!russ
	The articles are from notesfiles, most probably explaining why
	the address doesn't match the Article-I.D. (or it may just be
	a very poor attempt at forgery), but why are the backslashes
	in there?  I have not tried responding back along that path.
	----------

The articles are from notesfiles, which we have run here.
The backslashes are there because of csh;
csh tries to intrepret backslashes in its history list.  To keep
csh from doing this the exclamations are quoted using backslash.
