My point is basically:

If you (or anyone else) have problems with the PID spec that are due to its
format restrictions, etc., don't support it. The PID spec is not of major
(any?) importance to FidoNet's structure, network, or how well/bad it
works.

But there is little point in having a "standard" if it lacks
definitions. What *I* *don't* want to see is the software that is currently
busy abusing "tear-lines" with tons of junk at the bottom of
messages, move to PIDs and continue their quest for glory.
