Ok, but the bids are stored somewhere. It could be inside the message file or
in separate bid index. If we speak about REAL system, then headers of all
messages have to be stored in some kind of database, because walking through
all message files due to find ONE specified value would consume a lot of time.
So what does the duplication? Corruption of this database. Ok, that's true, but
WHY bbs generates its own BIDs when this file is corrupted? What should BBS
software do, when it detect corruption of bid file? Why BIDs and PIDs are not
stored inside database AND inside message files, as sendmail does with MIDs?
This would make BID/PID database recovery possible!
So this is imho caused by improperly writen software, and _is_not_ a sysop
fault.
