Thanks, for some reason i didn't get that post over here.

so i see he does a 'snip' with my name in it and the fidonet addy is one he claims to be impossible.  don't know what that's about.

So, LAST YEAR the same thing was happening and he gave a whole 'nother story about it.  now it's someone making bogus messages.

he was dumping dupes stuff all over the place for a long time. i remember that stupid fidonet newsgate sig on all of it.   If he can't run it properly he shouldn't run it. I would be embarassed to be dumping dupes in msg subs.
