I realize that, but I wanted to share those facts here that I presented
elsewhere and they were not aimed at you, but about the naysayers in other
echoes when I began posting those headers, seen-bys and paths. I didn't do it
long because it soon dawned on me that I was dealing with some stoneheads that
were too busy blaming D'Bridge and defending themselves to look at their own
setups. With those guys, it is always someone else's fault. I look over my
setup every time Nick puts out a new release just to be sure everything is as
it should be. It doesn't take much time and I am speaking only about my setup,
which is about as simple as I can make it.

So, we were saying the same thing using different words. That can happen.

You won't see it here. It only appears in some other echoes. D'Bridge has
caught over 4400 dupes since July 31, 2016. Those are what I consider
legitimate dupes. Remember a few months back when (here) I received 3MB of
mail? I think we all got an even number or more depending on the areas
carried.

I'm still waiting for my ISP to enable IPv6. I have a temp address, but it's
one-way only. My IPv4 address is static.
