These are actual APRS messages coming up under MINE in Ui-View. I did not
look very close the first time and deleted them all. I then got a few more,
changed from rotate to midwest aprs net and I have seen nothing since then.
I am going to select rotate.aprs.net again and restart my connection, see
what happens and let you know before I delete them.

I did a packet list on TH2THAPR-1 on both findU and jFindu with zero
results. Are the "messages" lines starting with # in your TCP display or
are they actual APRS messages? If the former, those are standard
keep-alives. If the latter, it sounds like either there is a
non-javAPRSSrvr server in the Tier 2 rotate list or someone in the Tier 2
rotate list has made a mistake in their configuration. The default for
javAPRSSrvr is to block all of those types of messages. They are generated
by non-javAPRSSrvr software and were considered a nicety in the beginning of
APRS-IS but became a major nuisance with the large number connections
occurring on the net. APRServe, aprsD, and AHub all generate these
broadcast messages.
