Alexey, this was not 'experimental' software. The author has their own node #
where he does his testing. As of now I've been back in the nodelist for well
over 5 years and this was, if I can remember correctly, the 2nd time this
occured.  The first was my doing due to a misconfiguration.  This last time was
a bug that was introduced whereas the author took full responsibility.  I
operate 5 separate FTN style networks here including my own which has roughly
35 nodes throughout the world so please, you know the package I use and if you
should have any questions regarding the "experimental' nature of it, contact
him.

Thanks and enjoy your day.
