I never said you did. You mentioned what your DUPE base was filled with, is
all. It was others who brought the software into the equasion, which
intensified the discussion and meshed the two together somehow. I was
simply pointing out the two have nothing in common at this time besides
they may /separately/ be causing some similar problems.

I hadn't seen a message here recently blaming DB for any of the recent
dupes, although I may have skipped over some messages. However, I remember
a query for a feature request (which was denied) and someone pointing out
something about a /specific/ DB system. I guess I'm just hazy as to why DB
is still involved in this conversation regarding Allen and/or Mystic at
all. :)

That's exactly where I'm at now.
