   they weren't in the middle of the line... they were quoted raw from another   
   message without any quote characters... when i viewed the message, they were   
   not in the body and they weren't hidden... they were simply gone... i had to   
   go back to the raw PKT to find them... if i hadn't already been expecting   
   them, i'd have never known they were missing...   
      
   i guess don't worry about it for now... i don't know if i'll have time to find   
   the original PKT to post the raw HEX from... there are 800+ PKTs over here for   
   the last 30 days for this point alone... another system running on this   
   machine has 900+ PKTs for the same period... that's not even counting the   
   d'Bridge point running or the other bbs either... i'm not even sure roughly   
   what day it arrived so it may very well be gone already... the only thing i am   
   sure of is that it happened on this machine and not one of the other three   
   that are running their own bbses...

   If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until   
   you hire an amateur.
