Seems like duplicate effort? It may in fact be a duplicate effort in the case of the SYNCHRONET echo, but it is not the only newsgroup that I offer to those that aren't running a system with a built-in newsgroup system. As I mentioned before I'm certainly not trying to step on anyone's (Digitalman) toes by offering it as an echo. I believe, as I said before, that I've eliminated the unfortunate duplicate message posting problem so as NOT annoy others in the actual newsgroup. Best regards, Marc ... I was going to tell you a UDP joke, but I'm not sure you would get it. -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + The FidoNet News Gate (Huntsville, AL - USA) + + The views of this user are strictly his or her own. + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus --- Synchronet 3.20a-Linux NewsLink 1.114 * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705) .
