Allow the user to equal the node in RSPF checks (this allows spots and +stuff with the origin and spotter to be the same (although it is STRONGLY +recommended that they are NOT!!!

You may +use commas as callsign separators if you like. 02Nov01======================================================================= 1. fixed some Aliasing problems, but this whole area will have to be addressed more comprehensively.
