PE> 2. That same DICKHEAD sent me the PKT named 00000000.PKT
 PE> instead of their point number, which means it clashes with
 PE> other DICKHEADS. 

  A few weeks ago, I tried to send a nul 60-byte packet zipped up as
0000000c.mo0 (it ended up a bit larger in fact) and it was rejected by
some dickhead sysop's system on the other end. So I stopped it zipping
and named it 0000000.PKT becasue the dickhead sysop at TML had told us
previously to only do that 00000000C.MO0 with zipped ones.

  Am I take this lunatic message to mean that you want me to name my
unzipped packets as 0000000C.PKT?

  Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated, or you
can jump off the balcony with the other pigeons.

  Coo, coo, cachoo...
