that's easy... someone has crosslinked the areas by putting the posts from
each network into the same message base on their system... AFAIK, the
/only/ system that should be putting dovenet message areas into fidonet is
digital mans's system... no other system should be trying to gate between
dovenet and fidonet... if they are, they need to stop... the trick is to
find that system and correct that system's operator's thought processes and
setup ;)

 GD> I would imagine someone has something configured incorrectly,

not incorrectly... but they should not be attempting to gate dovenet and
fidonet... crosslinking the message areas is a form of gating but it is not
the proper way to gate the two networks...

seenbys only show the distribution... the path shows the umm... path that
the message followed... QWK networking doesn't have a path line... if mr
tim can see the path line on the duplicated messages, it will show the
origin on the fidonet side where the improper gating is being done...

NOTE: mr tim is a southern way of showing respect to others... it is in no
way a derrogatory thing...
