Looks like bbs.homes is burping them back out like that.

I don't know.. I don't know what would have happened. But when I view the message you're replying to on my system, it looks fine here, not messed up as you had quoted..

The ones that are "blobbed" are/were being burped out by another system in net 3. The original from your system looked fine here, too.

Ah, good to hear.

Also, when you say those were from another system in net 3, did multiple copies of my message get onto the network somehow?

I think you had a couple of messages get duped like while it was happening. I spoke of plural because you were not the only one whose messages got duped/blobbed. It didn't seem to happen to every message posted during that time, but it did randomly seem to pick up a few.

Does this reply look okay? I'm wondering if it was an isolated issue.

The message that was bunched together said it was from a different system, not yours. It said bbs.homes, or something.

20!? I was thinking more like 2 days, and after contacting Avon yesterday about it, looks like he has it figured out.

Good thing nobody else tried to get ahold of him! :(
