   There WAS some work done with the PATH in the duplicate-check code, but was   
   commented-out by the original author, most likely because at that time, he   
   wasn't quite sure what to make out of FSC-0052 or parts of FTS-0004.001,    
   and/or he undoubtably was aware that a large Zone 2 hub used D'Bridge   
   exclusively (Ward), along with major Net hubs in Zone 1.   
      
   In the time I've been in Fidonet, since early 1994, I have yet to see ANY    
   system running D'Bridge that has caused massive duplicate-message problems,    
   that were NOT the result of Sysop-error or back end BBS software-error.   
      
   The original author supported D'Bridge well into 2000, 2001 I believe...    
   plenty of time for the Zone 1 NAB troika and super-logical-Spock beings in   
   Zone 2 to make noise about any duplicate-problems caused by a D'Bridge system.   
      
   No complaints, no nitpicking... no noise... not even ranting from Mark Lewis.   
      
   It is a misconception that code that has worked for decades needs to be    
   updated to support some new "modern" Fido technology... most likely the new    
   "modern" being new tossers or new BBS software that cause these problems.
