they weren't in the middle of the line... they were quoted raw from another
message without any quote characters... when i viewed the message, they
were not in the body and they weren't hidden... they were simply gone... i
had to go back to the raw PKT to find them... if i hadn't already been
expecting them, i'd have never known they were missing...

i guess don't worry about it for now... i don't know if i'll have time to
find the original PKT to post the raw HEX from... there are 800+ PKTs over
here for the last 30 days for this point alone... another system running on
this machine has 900+ PKTs for the same period... that's not even counting
the d'Bridge point running or the other bbs either... i'm not even sure
roughly what day it arrived so it may very well be gone already... the only
thing i am sure of is that it happened on this machine and not one of the
other three that are running their own bbses...

If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait
until you hire an amateur.
