I wasn't aware the .lnk file contains reply links, but I know it contains your linked nodes for the area.

I only know this because at one time I moved my message base files and I never moved the .lnk files with them and I lost my area links. Messages were not moving until I reset them.

Yep, I get you and I agree. If there is some corruption or issue let them go.

I don't use XQ-ILC and have no complains or comments about it.

I just don't want folks to lose their link information. In my own case locally posted message were not going out and it took me a while to figure out why.
