Hi Joe Nicholson, hope you are having a nice day

>>This is the THIRD echo I have seen this message in.
>>DROP WHAT?????
JN>He's a dimwit who believes that posting in an echo will
JN>remove it from his scan.  Looks like he's leaving Fido.
JN>He posted in at least 4 other echoes that you don't read.

 The problem wasn't really his fault though. If you look at
the To: line on all his msgs you'll see a number followed
by wcmail, and at the bottom that he's using BlueWave.

 It's a y2k bug in the reply header, so instead of wcmail
(the offline mail door) catching the drop request it gets
ignored and posted into the echos.

 Hey, he did it in two of my echos but tain't anything to
worry abt.

 -=> Yours sincerely, Paul Williams <=-
