Hi, August!

12 сен 20 20:44, August Abolins -> Charles Pierson:

 AA> Maybe until all the unique identifier stuff (^TG_PID, or
 AA> ^TG_MSGID) can be sorted out, then just have it so that there
 AA> is only one gate-bot per group, and each BBS is responsible
 AA> for their own group.

A standard PID is enough to eliminate flooding and duplication.

 AA> As it sits right now, we appear to be members of Stas' BBS
 AA> only.

From Fido's point of view, this is exactly the case. However, I must remind you that there were not so many Internet gates, even during the heyday of the network, in contrast to the BBS.

 CP>> I didn't consider separate groups for separate bots, as
 CP>> it looks somewhat overcomplicated. I was only considering
 CP>> a second bot as a backup in the cases where the original
 CP>> bot or system dropped out for a time.

 AA> The gating is probably far from being a shared process with
 AA> multiple bots at this time.

By the way, I have a strong desire to bring the code to the state of free software, but to make it such that it would be impossible to use it without sufficient knowledge.

 AA>  But Stas is in a fine position to be the founder of establishing the
 AA> standard ground-rules and the checks and balances for managing dupes,
 AA> avoiding loops, coming up with the new terminologies for this thing,
 AA> etc.

From Fido's point of view, this is just another kind of BBS.

Have nice nights.
       Stas Mishchenkov.
