I just noticed that when I receive notices on a BBS about some of the posts made to me (on FSX, in particular) appear as "Soandso has sent an EchoMail to you on FSX.GEN," while others will appear as "Soandso has posted to you on NET.General."
What's the difference between the two? Aren't they both public posts to a networked message base?
Is that on a Synchronet BBS? The difference may be that one network is a FTN network (which would probably be FSXNet) and the other might be a QWK-networked message network.

Yes, they are two different echoes and the BBS is just letting you know that someone addressed a public message to you on those echoes.
