and its even more annoying if one stops and really looks that the specs for
fidonet messages... namely the line that says that message bodies are
unbounded ie: unlimited in size... the limits and such that are in place
came from "lazy coders" who didn't want to take the time to
figure out how to work around handling stuff larger than their available
buffer(s)... reminds me of that old bill gates saying about 640K of
memory...
