While he's pointing out flaws (or what he thinks are flaws) elsewhere, he
should take a look at his own stuff, which is missing a Linux port. IMO, much
more important than the location of SEEN-BY and PATH lines in a message being
read, as long as they're stored in the correct place. *shrug*

I wasn't referring to a BBS package. I was referring to all binkp servers and
all FTN tossers in general.

When was the last time one of either was "created" (not "updated") from
scratch? That's my point. Even Synchronet's tosser is over a decade old.
Mystic's stuff has been done all within the last couple years - even while
James has worked 60+ hours a week while traveling.

Impressive, to say the least!
