Hate to break it to you all, but Clearwire is NOT a Moscow ISP, nor are
they a Lewiston ISP. They are a (evil, parasitic) national ISP with a
presence in both Moscow and Lewiston (along with anywhere else they feel
they can victimize the populous), one on which I could deliver a far
longer rant, if anyone so desires (completely un-related to the current
discussion).

Also, this little bit of the header is suggestive (not conclusive) as to
the origin:

Received: from SHERWINHOME (64-13-84-84.lew.clearwire-dns.net

I somehow doubt that ".lew." is a reference to Moscow.
