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...
