Sure you can.

That's correct.  Neither does anyone.

See, again you are wrong.  Apartently you know less than I do about the
known defiiencies of the current standard.

No.  You are repeatedly wrong.  You have no foundation for any of your
claims.  Maybe, just because you think you're right, that it must be so,
but that philosophy does not work in the real world.

So?  However, you show no interest in helping to improve things.  Instead
you act like a child and bitch and moan and insult an OS and programmers
who use that OS.

Not the actions of anyone with credibility in the Linux world, nor the
programming world.

A programmer would be more interested in solving the issue than making
unfounded accusations with any support or legitimacy.

 MK> No I am not.  I am just saving those programmers from a bunch of grief.

What grief?  There is no grief in the programmer's world.  A simple exchange
of ideas and the issue is worked on.  Beleive it or not, most programmers
don't have this irrational bias that you have.

Er, what does SCO have to do with programmers?  You rationalizations have no
basis in reality.

Fine by me.  Stick in the dark ages and rot.  Not my concern.

 RC>> To me, that is just stupid.

 MK> Too bad.  Not your call is it?

 MK> Bullshit.  His "fix" fixes nothing and only isolates it's users from

Yes.  Here we go again with an unknown.  So far there still is no evidence
that this actually happened since SBBS had MSGID.

The standard is defiecient and need to be improved.  Obviously, you don't
have a clue how things are improved at all.

 RC>> deficiencies that are current in the standard but is also backwards

 MK> What?  Nothing wrong with the current MSGID and if there is then I'll

See.  You prove my point.  You do not know what you are talking about.  Do
come back when you get that clue.


 MK> Yep.  We'll talk about it then.

Unlikely.  You aren't rational enough to talk about anything it seems.

 RC>> FidoNet Standards have changed over the years to cope with differing

 MK> Such as?

IP connectivity.  Do get a clue.

 MK> I could care less about Windows.  Never used it myself.  What for?

You certainly do care about Windows.  If you didn't you wouldn't be bashing
it at every opportunity.  Unfortunately, you don't have the common sense to
know how irrational you are.

 RC>> Ask Rob Swindell, he can explain it better than me.

 MK> No he just dictates.  I doubt he can come up with a valid reason.

How would you know?  You haven;t the foggiest notion on what the issue is.

 MK> He has been asked and I have yet to see him respond on this particular

Or you are.  The difference between you and Rob, is that Rob backs his
statements up with actions.  All you have is hot air.

 MK> Beats me.  I never used Windows but have seen others crash it with the
 MK> greatest of ease while bragging how great they and Windows are.  Funny

But you do go on and on about it like some expert.  Too bad your only
experience seems to be in your mind.

Robert.
