   I realize that, but I wanted to share those facts here that I presented   
   elsewhere and they were not aimed at you, but about the naysayers in other   
   echoes when I began posting those headers, seen-bys and paths.  I didn't do it   
   long because it soon dawned on me that I was dealing with some stoneheads that   
   were too busy blaming D'Bridge and defending themselves to look at their own   
   setups.  With those guys, it is always someone else's fault.  I look over my   
   setup every time Nick puts out a new release just to be sure everything is as   
   it should be.  It doesn't take much time and I am speaking only about my   
   setup, which is about as simple as I can make it.

   You won't see it here.  It only appears in some other echoes.  D'Bridge has   
   caught over 4400 dupes since July 31, 2016.  Those are what I consider   
   legitimate dupes.  Remember a few months back when (here) I received 3MB of   
   mail?  I think we all got an even number or more depending on the areas   
   carried.

   I'm still waiting for my ISP to enable IPv6.  I have a temp address, but it's   
   one-way only.  My IPv4 address is static.

   Good.
