   Who asked you to redesign anything? If you reall wnat to "hang it up" and are   
   just looking for an excuse, I guess you found one. But you enjoy solving   
   problems, you found one of those too.

   It doesn't sound like you've read the relevant FTN specs or my write-up about   
   this the FTN-MSGID topic, but just so you're aware: Synchronet was not the   
   first software to generate FTN MSGIDs which don't conform to what you (and   
   apparently Squish) think should be the norm. Here are some examples:   
   X-FTN-MSGID       33bc160d   
   X-FTN-MSGID       6f22dbc9   
   X-FTN-MSGID       86afd87b   
   X-FTN-MSGID       0001327e   
   X-FTN-MSGID       20c0db2e   
   X-FTN-MSGID       2ceda87e   
   X-FTN-MSGID       1a31d5a1   
   X-FTN-MSGID       1f885ab1   
   X-FTN-MSGID      <20060904114516.19f25d93d7f80a223b6e85f47e965fd   
   .90b642a290.wbe@email.secureserver.net> 5daee08b   
      
   I could dig up tons of other examples, none of which were generated by   
   Synchronet or SBBSecho.
