[LI] traceroute freaking out?

[ravikant@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hola ,
  My IP was : 203.197.135.183 - and I did a traceroute to 203.197.135.182 - for no apparent reason - just to check out what route the packets were taking and how long it would take to reach some dude thats local to this place.... and this was what i saw , someone care to explain the behaviour ?

PS : I hope this mail actually reaches LI because i'm using a really freaky mail setup right now and I doubt if this mail actually would reach LI ... [ check the headers and do some DNS resolving to figure out what I meant in the last 2 lines ;-) ]
