Illogical. If 229/400 was already connected to 100, 200 and 300 for ABC echo, 
then 400 was already receiving messages from them, so a rescan would only 
produce duplicates, which would be caught and zapped provided all four have 
properly configured systems and/or four Sysops who can keep their fingers off 
a configuration when it "just works". Can all four do it? Maybe not...

Unless I'm hitting a language-barrier with Wilfred, I'm getting the impression
its all doom-and-gloom because D'Bridge allows rescans and uses SEEN-BY
checking to determine a rescan or not. It reads as if this software is being 
singled out and not Gecho, TBBS, Fastecho or others *that do it the same way* 

D'Bridge is not everyone's cup of tea, but I refuse to have someone proclaim
the sky is falling after drinking my tea... My teas are not THAT potent.

My agenda is to run a reliable uncensored mail Hub until either I or the
equipment expires, and I don't give a jack-crap about other agendas or
politics. Many people use my services and DB in both NAB and Fidoweb 
topologies. I am personally trusted by many Sysops for this and other reasons.
