Apologies. I've run a re-toss at the 1/100 HUB today and it's sent out
a bunch of old packets which I was not intending. I expect most in NET
2-5 won't have to endure them but for those in NET 1 and other NETs
that do, my apologies.
I got a bunch here but they all went into the bad area because of their age so it didn't do any harm here.
So an HPT question if I may?
The reason for this was I ran HPT TOSS -b
I'm wondering
1) is there a way of being more selective when you request a re-toss
from BAD?
2) should I be more proactive and use something like GoldED to just manually delete messages in BAD so that only what is left in BAD is
what I would want to try and retoss next time I were to run the above command?
Any thoughts/insights appreciated :)

I wound up responding to one I thought was a recent resurrection rather than just over a year old, but that's probably not the most embarrassing thing from the day.
Sure, I'll answer if I can.
Not very helpful I'm afraid. I wonder if folks in the FIDOSOFT.HUSKY
area might have some thoughts or experiences to share.
In Squish I have a DUPES and a BAD area. I try to keep the number of messages in the BAD area to 0. They are only useful, if you want to
retoss them to an area that was missing in the config. Old messages
should be deleted or moved to another area (manually or automatically).
I think looking for unwanted messages the BAD area before a retoss is always a good idea. I also have no great idea for alternative
