Why is       everyone so set on making obsolete protocols of non-ftn messaging?              To be honest I am not interested in anything that doesn't account for FTN       msg'ing, offline or otherwise. My stuff works 100% and currently uses scp to       do transfers between points and the node.              "Little Mikey's Brain" doesn't require ANY abandonware.
