But if it's through a regular Newsgroup provider, do       those messages have a distinct node or are they linked to an existing BBS in       some other manner?              But my point was actually more to Augusts remarks than yours. Telegram       groups as they are as a whole is more like a BBS than a mirror.               --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/08/26 (Raspberry Pi/32)        * Origin: theoasisbbs.ddns.net:1357 (1:153/757.26)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 129/305 153/757 229/426 664 700 282/1038 301/1 322/757       PATH: 153/757 229/664 426           |
