Ärende: Duplicate Messages
==========================
  In my QWK packet tonight, I noticed that there are a lot of duplicate
  messages.   I don't know who else will be getting them.

  The features of the duplicates are that all of them started life at
  DOCs place.   Some BBS someplace is stripping the thing that many of
  us use for dupe checking and sending the messages back into the
  stream.   Not only that, but they are going round and round.   I have
  three copies of at least one message.   I expect many more duplicate
  copies before the people who move the mail can find the problem and
  stop the duplication.

  I have noticed that the duplicates are not being seen on DOCs itself
  -- so apparently he is trapping them there.   They are appearing on my
  uplink (The East-star) and on Janis Kracht's BBS.

  It is not just the COOKING echo that is being hit -- I saw some dupes
  in the MEMORIES echo also.

  I don't think that the duplication is any fault of DOCs place, but is
  the fault of some other BBS which is stripping the information and
  sending the messages back into the stream.
