I know, the mechanics of it you leave to others.  :)  The extra digits
show up usually when someone is getting back into messaging on Fidonet,
and is brushing off their BW reader... but it's the non-fixed version,
and either they don't know about the need for the fix, or they just
haven't heard what the fixes were...  :)

Yes indeed!  :)
