   it is a long-standing (aka classic) problem for QWK setups... QWK uses message   
   area numbers to identify message areas... if a BBS adds a message area, all   
   the areas after it are pushed down another number... so when a user has   
   written a message in area #4 and the BBS has added a new area as #3, the   
   user's message is posted to the new #4 instead of the old one which is now   
   #5...   
      
   eg:   
   original:   
   area#1   
   area#2   
   area#3   
   area#4   
   area#5   
      
   now insert a new #3...   
      
   area#1 -> area#1   
   area#2 -> area#2   
   new#3  -> area#3  or area#3 -> area#3   
   area#3 -> area#4  or new#3  -> area#4   
   area#4 -> area#5   
   area#5 -> area#6   
      
   you get the same type of problem when areas are removed, too... it is   
   especially noticible on systems that prefer to have their areas listed   
   alphabetically instead of in creation order...   
      
    AA> I thought that QWKnet was promoted as perfection.  ;)  :/  :D   
      
   while i understand your statement is a joke, QWKNetworking is not the same   
   thing... it may have similar problems with message area numbers but it is used   
   for BBS<->BBS message exchanges... not BBS<>user exchanges...
