   that's one aspect but then there are a lot of operators that simply prefer one   
   message base format over another, BBS or no...

   generally speaking, yes... that's the nature of our simplistic mail tossers...   
   a rescan for you is OK but it will also be fed to others you feed... the best   
   thing would be to do the rescan if you are populating yor local areas and then   
   reconnect other systems... otherwise, do the rescan and let their dupe   
   detectors deal with the rescan... they may get some posts they missed the   
   first time around ;)   
      
   personally speaking, i'll do a rescan when i first connect to an area to build   
   the local bases... there's no one else connected at that time... if it is an   
   automated connection where someone has requested an area i don't already have,   
   we both miss out on the rescan...
