[Dxspider-support] Hop counts

[Dirk Koopman]

Some nodes deliberately limit hop counts to some low number like 10 or 
15. A pity then, that spots that travel through nodes (IIRC AR-C) where 
they are "rehopped" back to 98 (or so). I did some research on this 
several years ago and that was the conclusion I came to at the time. But 
things may have changed since then.

This first one is sent out to my node connections with a hop count of H2 or less, which means it should soon be hopped out and not further forwarded.  Why is some intermediate node doing this.  Is it an attempt to sabotage the distribution of some spots?
