Bu> Actually, he is posting his messages on FidoNet, someone is crossposting
 Bu> the messages from the Commodore Echo on FidoNet to the Usenet

I have yet to cross any gate software that will allow usenet msgids to match
FTN style msgids in order to reference a message you are replying to.

I'm posting from a bbs to another user on a bbs via Fidonet. He will see that
it is a reply and everyone using usenet will see that it is just a message to
All.

It's annoying, I know, but it is what it is.

I have been working on updating the code of some software that gates between
fidonet and usenet. Problem is, someone else is already gating this echo. The
last thing I want to do is cause a whole bunch of dupes.
