i have not... mainly because, unless i'm seriously missing something, SBBS doesn't have a news server and there's no 3rd party news server that i know of that provides access to the SBBS proprietary message base format...

*i* don't... max's setup is her's... i have access to it and pretty much free hand but it is still her's to test and break... if there was news access to SBBS, i probably would be aware of any (re)numbering problems but since there isn't, renumbering doesn't affect things like that be become noticible...
