I thought you were talking about the Sig line and the Origin lines repeating the same information. Mike Cothran taught me that the 3 dashes were needed to let the fido system know it was the end of the message. Ok, I'll just stop using them then. In all my years on Fido, this is the first time anyone has ever said anything to me about the 3 dashes. --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/09/29 (Windows/64) * Origin: Legends of Yesteryear (furmenservices.net:23322) (1:123/256) SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 18/200 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 114/705 116/17 SEEN-BY: 116/18 120/302 340 616 123/10 120 131 256 124/5016 129/215 SEEN-BY: 129/305 330 331 153/250 757 7715 154/10 30 40 50 700 203/0 SEEN-BY: 218/700 840 220/70 90 221/0 1 6 360 226/17 18 30 100 227/114 SEEN-BY: 229/110 111 112 113 206 317 400 424 426 428 452 470 550 664 SEEN-BY: 229/700 230/0 240/5832 250/5 8 266/512 267/800 280/464 5003 SEEN-BY: 282/1038 292/8125 298/25 301/1 305/3 317/3 320/219 322/757 SEEN-BY: 335/364 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/81 460/58 633/280 712/848 SEEN-BY: 770/1 2320/0 33 105 195 304 2452/250 3634/12 4500/1 PATH: 123/256 116/18 2320/105 154/10 280/464 221/1 6 218/840 770/1 PATH: 317/3 229/426 |
