Actually the way Synchronet generates FTN MSGID's is evidence that I'm an
experienced programmer that knows a real problem when I see one and chose to
implement a simple (RFC-822 inspired) solution. The inadequacies with FTS-9's
32-bit "serialno" are well-documented and understood among experienced
programmers (regardless of the platform they program for).

Your bitching about Synchronet's MSGID's is just further evidence that you have
nothing constructive to do with your time.

Your bitching about "Windows programmers" is just further evidence that you
have no idea what you're talking about.
