 DS>>> From P4.07 section 1.  which defines fidonet as an organization of
 DS>>> BBSes.  So how can you interpret that to say that "BBSes are not
 DS>>> part of  Fidonet"?

This is a strange one... It got exported at your system a second time and
wasn't detected as dupe!?

Also the SEEN-BY's contain some nodes that aren't in the fidonet nodelist. For
instance net 18, 19, 34, 90 and 12 are not part of fidonet (I didn't check them
all). 1 Or more of the systems in the path line have a (configuration) problem!

Bye, Wilfred.
