[aprssig] Digipeater Question - Unused WIDE2

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

Ok, same question but with WIDE1 instead of WIDE2?  If this is done by a 
particular TNC, wouldn't it end up killing the intent of a 
WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 original path if it decremented and retransmitted as 
DIGICA-LL*,WIDE1,WIDE2-1?  (DIGICA-LL* is the bogus digi's callsign-SSID 
inserted).
