So what lines in my inventories look like DAT files? I guess I'm not up on
DAT files enough to intentionally emulate one, I have to do it by accident.
It must be something really subtle though.  I've posted quite a few other
inventories and never had a problem.

I suppose I could reformat them.  The way I've been posting them is the way
the are exported out of Access, so its easy.  If I have to do to much
reformatting it starts to become less worth while to post them.  If I knew
what Lugnet keyed on to determine if something was a DAT file then I'd have
a better idea what to avoid.

So, Todd, how do you detect DAT files?
And why don't you block them in off-topic.test? (just curious here)

(...) It sounds like you have some lines in your message that make the server think it contains LDraw data. I noticed that of your other inventories, maybe you can reformat your data? Jeff (27 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
