     Yes, but unfortunately that relay ranks fairly high in terms of data
rates, so it attracts a lot of traffic. :-(  I see that the fingerprint has
changed since the first time I added it to my ExcludeNodes list.  I notice
also that both kangnam.megapass.net (121.138.6.100) and the IP address that
appears in the bogus part of the substituted URL are in South Korea, which
is one of the worst cesspools of crackers, massmailers, and other undesirable
types that plague the Internet.
     I hope that work is still progressing on automated detection and flagging
of BADEXITs.
