Further to Mike's message about incomplete WP data, the first WP update
bulltin I looked at was as follows:

On 121216 W4JMY/U @ AC4ZR.#LSC.SC.USA.NOAM zip ? ? ? 

Note this is supposed to be a /U (user-derived) entry, yet it has empty
name, qth and zip fields!!

There's no way that a BBS should EVER send out an incomplete entry such
as that. The user should be forced to provide all those details when he
registers on the BBS, and he should not be considered a user of the BBS
(or allowed to do anything on the BBS) until all data is complete. Does
FBB do that?

Something rings a bell here.... I seem to remember that FBB sends out bogus
/U entries, when in fact it has guessed the data from mail headers.. Perhaps
they never fixed that bug?
