Just be sure that the ones you duplicate for the different
PATHS (the New-N Paradigm) are identical for the posit/beaocn
Of the digi.  If they are not identical, they will fill up
Everyone's logs with "changing positions" that are not really
Changing.

Other than that, they can be used for other things like:
1) A STATUS packet
2) A POSITION object for a local VOICE repeater
3) Meeting announcements, etc...  

But keep them local
