  I think *everyone* has to chop dupes! As far as I can see, anything
you send to Paul gets sent back the next day, so anyone passing mail
on, has to chop the dupes themselves. It's pretty obvious that Paul
isn't... the fault is with Paul.

  It would be alright is he was just downloading from one source (the
Internet) and passing it on (getting your own mail back is only a
minor annoyance) but he's getting mail from *several* sources, each of
which may be getting the same messages somewhere else, and the whole
thing loops horribly.

  This is what I've been saying all along. Paul is the hub, so *he*
should be the gateway. The only other alternative is for *both* you
and Paul to kill dupes, and if more than one of us starts to feed
both Fido and UUCP, then we have ot kill dupes too.

Bob
