There's also the problem that the squish message base stores date/time stamps
with a resolution of 2 seconds. That has been causing problems in the past
where a squish system forwarded messages to its other links with the date/times
changed from the original, and so causing undetected dupes on some systems.

This is of course only a problem if you have more than 1 link to an echomail
area. Which is never (or shouldn't) be the case for a point system. ;)

Bye, Wilfred.
