the only reason i can see for using SMAPI is if one wanted to use other message
base formats than JAM... i guess this 64bit problem may be another reason but
i'd rather see jamlib fixed properly to handle this...

i don't think so... i haven't read anything about it and i'm not planning on
going to IPv6 for several more years... there is simply no need for it over
here...

kinda yeah but it depends... i've been making liberal use of my twit filter,
biting my tongue a lot, and not getting on the machine while consuming adult
beverages and saying how i really feel about certain things... that's on my
part but i still feel like saying a lot more than i have, beverages or no...
