    Yeah, I saw that.

    And I would not blame the software. It is human error -- I've done it
    before, but fortunately, I've started using wcReports to clear out and
    recycle message database files before running PXEcho on them :)

    How did a human re-date all the messages though? And replace the MSG-IDs? That sounds like a software issue to me.

    It was me, not WildCat. I was reconfiguring message bases and just should
    have deleted them instead of clearing out and inserting new bases in the spot of the old base...thus the dump.
