Speaking of message bases and paths -- is there anything "special" with System Paths --> Message Base Path vs the Path set for each message base?

I have the Path set for each message base, and am thinking of moving them all "up" one step, from /mnt/bbs/mystic/msgs to /mnt/bbs/msgs. For each message base this would also include adjusting its Path accordingly, e.g. from /mnt/bbs/mystic/msgs/fidonet/ to /mnt/bbs/msgs/fidonet/.

Would it be "bad" to do such a move for some reason that you can think of?

My reasoning for moving them is that the message bases aren't necessarily tied entirely to Mystic (apropos GoldEd), so should live outside the /mnt/bbs/mystic directory hierarchy. Similar to the echomail inbound/outbound, the actual directories for file areas (their contents), etc.

Any thoughts on this are much appreciated. :)

Thanks in advance!

Best regards
