I caught over 6000 the past two days. Dating pretty far back. So I'm
guessing he had them backed up for awhile and when he upgraded his tosser
they all spilled out. I haven't figured out why they were posted to echos
not related to file announcements though, except the fact he just upgraded
his tosser and a bunch of new things were added recently, which may or may
not have jived with his current config. *shrug*.

Either way, I don't think it has much to do with moving message areas
around (or whatever "mark" was talking about). smbutil's (the
program used to manually post messages to your message base in Synchronet)
format requires an actual echotag for the area you're posting to. Not an ID
number or base number or anything like that. My guess is either a major bug
was just found in the latest changes, or his config got screwed up somehow.

Regards,
Nick
