And this does happen. We had a digi operator about 150 miles south of use
that had passall on by accident. As a result, all the bad calls he igated
got reposted up here! Took a bit of detective work, but we tracked the digi
owner down. Sent a polite email about the issue to him, he checked and
corrected the passall command on his TNC and the bad calls all went away. :)
