Thanks for the balanced reply Theo.

It's software called SoupGate that was written for the specific use of gating
Fido style packets to/from Usenet news. It's nothing I wrote nor have access
to the source code to modify etc. I am not a coder anyway. It is legacy
software that was DOS to start with (I think) and had been ported by the
author to run on Windows in the mid 1990s. It is configured correctly as per
the docs and is not (despite Rogers attempt at crafting some fiction about
what I am thinking etc.) sending out articles incorrectly. It has been running
just fine for several years and enabled several online communities to engage
on multiple topics across different online channels.

Best, Paul
