      Attention Sean,               SD> I'd ask that you report that broken link to someone who can        SD> either contact the sysop or reroute around that system.              It is being routed around else this particular reply to your reply wouldn't be       happening. As for contacting the sysop that isn't an issue as last time this       happened there was no problem with this node - 1:153/7001 - contacting it to       point out there was obvious breakage. However that fixes nothing and the       fts-0001.016 MSGs - up to and including this one - don't get beyond that       particular node as well as yours and every other message whether or not they       are indeed fts-0001.016 compliant, which they usually aren't. Complaining       about it achieves nothing as past experience has proved many, many, many times.              This node - 1:153/7001 - is one of the few, perhaps the only Fidonet node,       that knows how to hack a working pktheader when a link demonstrates that it       cannot handle fts-0001.016 compliant pktheader(s). I am aware of many Fidonet       nodes, most in very sensitive positions, that are noncompliant and have been       noncompliant for decades now.              End transmission.              ...
