So thank god for good dupe checking... Hmm, if only sbbsecho would do that on
forwarded messages...

The solution is the same as for hierarchical routing: Just have the one gate
between different nets.

Who needs echomail gates between nets anyway these days. It's very simple for
everyone to connect everywhere, and connect the areas they want. So gates are
not needed...

Bye, Wilfred.
