So, LAST YEAR the same thing was happening and he gave a whole 'nother story about it. now it's someone making bogus messages.
he was dumping dupes stuff all over the place for a long time. i remember that stupid fidonet newsgate sig on all of it. If he can't run it properly he shouldn't run it. I would be embarassed to be dumping dupes in msg subs.
