Hello Guys!

Please check your meshing on the following echoes, I have had Nobogus 
forcedpath traps on the following:

Tag             Problem
===             =======
OS2             10/345 not passing to 106/1
                Instead, passing to 379/1, who in turn passes to 106/1,
                then to me.

WCCODE          379/1 not passing to 106/1
                Instead, passing to 10/345, who in turn passes to 106/1,
                then to me.

MEMORIES        Same issue as the OS2 one outlined above.

Echomail flow from 379/1 or 10/345 on its way to me should immediately be 
followed by 106/1.

Dale, you may have caught this already, if not here you are.. :)

Hello All!

Since Dale was all proud of himself by thinking he "got me" over detecting an 
irregularity with the propogation of message echoes in his distro system, above 
is the netmail I sent him, Steve and Todd.

It was informative, polite and tactful.

Having seen comments from others that we ought to work together and try to 
solve problems, I thought that was what I was doing by informing the 3 of them 
that a problem existed. A problem that will result in dupes and not might 
result in dupes.

Links not keeping their feeds straight is worse than taking crystal balls to 
MSGIDS.

What will be dupes is not the same as what might be dupes.

Aside from that, one would think Dale would have wanted to be informed of a 
problem, no matter its severity or triviality.

Had Dale used a similiar angle of "tact" when all this began, he would not have 
faced the criticism he has faced over the past couple months.

It appears that while Dale has been devising neat and stricter traps to 
determine what might be dupes, he isnt using nobogus for what it does best and 
most reliably.

That is to detect DUPE LOOPS and problems that occur in a meshed topology,

Had Dale used these commands:

Forcedpath = 106/1
Forcedpath = 10/345

Had he been doing this, he would have caught the OS2 and MEMORIES issues.
