Some loon called Paul Edwards was proclaiming that if it causes
a problem for him alone, he can demand that those messages be

specify that field and those messages clearly are 'out of spec'.
Unfortunately for him, the real world is more complicated than that.

RS> He hasnt even agreed with you that that *IS* an example of even
RS> 'network problem' Paul. His message is heavily larded with *IF*s

PE> Poor old Rod.  Gets a message supporting what I said all along,

Soorree, it did nothing of the sort.
