   True, but if the pktheader is rejected because the link cannot handle a   
   certain pktheader type then the formatting of the packed message(s) becomes   
   irrelevant.   
      
   Speaking for 1:153/7001 the issue has been resolved despite any misgivings and   
   regrets it has caused anyone, especially the nodelisted sysop of 1:153/7001.    
   He did state that he would end up regretting this and that prediction has   
   proved itself to be 100% accurate.   
      
   Again thank you for your kind attention in this most sensitive matter.   
      
   End transmission.
