Understood. This is one of the echos that got bombed with duplicate
messages, so as long as we're trying to figure out why, I doubt anyone has
any complaints that we're not on-topic at the moment.

That said, I'm not blaming your software.. but I originally pointed out
that these dupes started the day he upgraded to the Oct 31 sources. More
likely a configuration issue and not knowing all the newer features you've
added or how to deal with/configure them is probably the real issue here.

It went on for a few days before I finally paused the feed. Although since
I've paused it, I haven't received anything from him (besides his normal
2-3 file report postings) in my BAD area, but he hasn't visited my Areafix
yet either, so maybe he's working on it, or maybe when he upgraded it
flushed out a bunch of packets from his system and went back to normal
operation. We have yet to know any of that though.

Regards,
Nick
