[Dxspider-support] TOP 20 nodes sending unverified spots in last 24 hours

[Ciemon Dunville]

Thanks Mike,

I've been here for a while so I've seen the mud slinging. But unfortunately
all you've done is throw more mud, how does DXspider determine that this
quoted spot is bad?

 PCPROT: Bad Spot UA3ZNQ on 21074.0 by LU6YR(186.134.129.88)@EA4RCH-5 User
LU6YR not on node EA4RCH-5, DUMPED

How does the dxspider upstream from me know that LU6YR is not on node
EA4RCH-5, particularly if CC Cluster can't maintain user data "because it's
Windows based". I'd love someone to explain why Windows is the problem LOL.

Is Dirk the only one that can explain?
