Mark,

ML>right but seeing the same ones every 30 days makes it no better than the BBS
ML>advertising echos...

  But, at least it's not the same one every single day. In some of these
BBS ad echoes, I see a message for a BBS several times a day...and yet,
that's even after the moderator posts a "rule bulletin" noting that "no
more than 2 postings a week".

ML>it isn't about that... or being timely... it is simply about redundant posts
ML>with duplicate message bodies... maybe if it was recycled yearly, it wouldn'
ML>be quite so bad but you have to look that there are a lot of systems that
ML>retain all messages no matter how old they are (living archives)... then the
ML>are some that keep three years worth (three years is the limit on MSGID
ML>recycling)... then you have others that chose some arbitrary number of days
ML>they consider to be timely...

  If they are so picky about that, let them turn on the duplicate
message deal in their settings.

ML>yes, roy witt is no longer with us... you can post in whatever echos you
ML>like... TBH, i've not seen you "get chewed out" in any area... someone may m
ML>a comment here or there but it isn't a "chewing out"... kinda like when i wa
ML>letting you know about your software creating duplicate MSGIDs within the th
ML>year period allowed... i wasn't "chewing you out"... i was letting you know 
ML>a problem... it didn't mean any more than that...

  Well, I think I've got everything fixed in tossing now. But, the only
area where stuff recycles every 30 days is on a local board...and I
reduced my BBS ad postings to ONCE A WEEK.
