Reverse that. 138/392 is a downlink of mine. My primary uplink is 140/1.

138/392 should be an endnode. Unfortunately he had to put his system back
together and in the process connected to two uplinks for mail, mine and
Ross's.

He initiated a rescan of echos from me, and then scanned them out to Ross.
The one's he scanned out were dupes, of course.

Because of the age and quantity, I would imagine most of the message hashes
used for dupe checking fell off of most systems a while ago.

What messages got through, were probably ones which didn't have 123/500 in
the seen by's when they came in here originally.

If they did, that begs other questions.


(It's been a few years since I've had to deal with these kind of issues. :-)
