 ml> this line is under 20 dashes.

if you'd like to see it, i have the original PKT destined to my hub with
the above message packed in it. the above 20 dashes line is unmodified in
said pkt. it'll also (99.9999% chance) be unmodified after it leaves my
feed as he is running the same software that i am. as i do not know the
path from me to you, i cannot even start to hazard a guess at where this
test will again be "illegally" modified. i say
"illegally" because we're supposed to be passing messages on to
our other links in unmodified form, right? altering usertext is unmodified?
geez...
