Calm down, review your arguments and you will understand why your point of view
deserves such a comment.

If you understand "fix a problem" by hunting bugs in software code, then you
know now why you didn't understand. For my point of view a solution for a
problem with the configuration is a fix too.

Or in other words: A misconfigured software does not work properly.
(even it's called sbbsecho, or whatever...)

You can draw even if you find out what the default behavior of sbbs is.
If sbbs does not touch an existing origin line by default, then i agree that
sbbs does work properly. In that case the sysop was responsible for the
misconfiguation.
If sbbs does replace the origin line by default, i still call it a bug, even if
the code works as designed. Modification of the origin line without explicit
configured by the sysop is a design bug in my point of view.

In any case, it was a not properly working system with golded and sbbs, which
is fixed now.

Regards

Kai
