MV> [Apparently even the last of the renegades has given up resistance. ;-) ]

It wasn't so much giving up resistance; I had the time last night to study
the message-parser code for hours before I found a way to inject your stupid
sky-is-falling kludge nonsense. Now you can enjoy my fuck-off message, in a
threaded style.

Renegade and many others have enjoyed threaded reading that does not depend
on kludging. So have TBBS, Squish, Worldgroup/MajorBBS etc. Pretty sure
Synchronet can do it without kludging. Threaded reading is a bunch of
bullshit anyway because any topic can be usurped by someone into a different
topic yet the software doesn't know the difference. Its just a reading 
preference by a few... and your preference means I need to add a kludge.

What a useless kludge pair, this Msgid/Reply... Explain to me logically why
this was promoted as a standard. What, someone cannot code a proper
dupe-check in their tosser? D'Bridge has rock solid detection since 1988 that 
does not use this kludge. So do many other tossers. What, we need an easy way 
to ID a message? Someone cannot do this from the Origin, Seen-by and Path?

The Msgid itself is flawed by design, yet everyone seemingly jumped on the 
bandwagon and this nonsense was promoted as standard.

*You* are the one who runs shit software and I'm fucking GLAD you're OUT of 
the FTSC. Your whining and complaining about a kludge pair thats flawed by
design. Good riddance and I hope your Fido departure is not far behind. It
will be a day of big celebration when you and some others are finally GONE.
