Why are these all wrapped into one
big blob?

Interesting, they were all blobbed here as well.

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

This is how I got it, so yep.

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.

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