Hi! All,   
      
   I am having continual problems with one echo, where news readers (two local &   
   one remote) are losing track of messages.  The headers & texts are going out   
   of synch.  Even newly tossed posts are not showing up during scans for new   
   mail.   
      
   My daily maintenance does not do a renumber but it does cull out messages   
   based on a 'top number' for each echo.  With tomorrow's maint, I've reset the   
   _one_ echo having trouble to be based on date instead.  Culling will be older   
   than six months rather than 6000 messages.  But that's tomorrow.  So, I won't   
   find out till tomorrow whether that will fix that echo or not.   
      
   If I've turned up a bug of some sort, runnning a combination of FastEcho &   
   JamNNTPd, then I may have to switch to plan 'B'.  I have an alternative server   
   running Crashmail II & JamNNTPd that might have to be promoted to a   
   nodelisting, as a fix for the possible buggy situation.  But that's extreme   
   since I know that CM also culls by 'top number' or date.   
      
   So, I was wondering if anyone else does a routine purge or cull of their   
   messagebase?   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
