I'm not the computer wiz I maybe should be, so I'll ask a stupid
question. Because they return the same IP address, they are actually
the same, right? So any il.* can be safely removed from my
sources.list?

If it was me doing the thinking, then I'd do it three times. I repeat
that what you saw in my sources.list file is what came out of the box.
I do bellieve that you are correct, and that the maintainer of that
particular peice should be made known of the situation.

I'd appreciate it if you'd share with me what those three lines should be.

Like said before, the maintainer should be made aware. That is what
will save the mirrors, instead of having each naive user (that's me)
edit them out by hand.

I didn't think that you were rude. You were defending something
precious to you. I understand that very well. I think that I can speak
for Nigel on that matter as well, he knows what I'm talking about.
(הגנה על המדינה).

Thanks for all your help. I'm just beginning to understand exactly
what ticks inside (k)ubuntu, and this is part of the learning process.
I will make more mistakes, to be sure!
