.. One fine day, Paul waffled to Dieter..

 Hello Paul,

 PE> Okay Dieter, it seems today you decided to send me a packet
 PE> of messages coming from either 3:711/934.7 or 3:711/934,
 PE> instead of 3:711/934.8.  I think this may have something
 
 Today is as good a day as any other. My sendrep randomly selects 
 a point number as a message filler, so you were lucky you had a 
 close spread.
 
 PE> to do with the poll packet which you would normally send
 PE> if you didn't have any messages to send.  PKTJOIN will
 PE> just take the header off the first packet it finds.  BTW,
 PE> you also sent me a swag of dupes for "good" measure.

 I trust nothing - I was ensuring the mail got thru. And just for 
 your impudence, I've sent another swag of dupes.

 PE> The poll packet that you guys send me is very old, and
 PE> was snipped from the first 50 bytes (or whatever), from

 You've waited this long to whinge about it ? Go fuck yourself.

 PE> Oh, and can you switch to PQWK222 as well, I file-attached
 PE> it to you (that is a subtle hint).  I was thinking of
 PE> sending it to Bob every day too as another subtle hint.

 Bastard.

...later

I think I know where the dupes are coming from - the REP is 
appending to itself it the original REP doesn't get sent, i.e 
your phone is engaged. I'm not too hot on BAT files, so bear with 
me until I figure out how to fix it.

I'll also have a look at the blank header as well.

 Dieter.
 

... Get the facts first. You can distort them later.
