Understood. This is one of the echos that got bombed with duplicate messages,
so as long as we're trying to figure out why, I doubt anyone has any complaints
 that we're not on-topic at the moment.

That said, I'm not blaming your software.. but I originally pointed out that
these dupes started the day he upgraded to the Oct 31 sources. More likely a
configuration issue and not knowing all the newer features you've added or how
to deal with/configure them is probably the real issue here.

It went on for a few days before I finally paused the feed. Although since I've
 paused it, I haven't received anything from him (besides his normal 2-3 file
report postings) in my BAD area, but he hasn't visited my Areafix yet either,
so maybe he's working on it, or maybe when he upgraded it flushed out a bunch
of packets from his system and went back to normal operation. We have yet to
know any of that though.

Regards,
Nick
