    MK> Hey mark!   
      
    ml>> which type2 packet format do you use?   
      
    MK> Heh, heh. That is a loaded question. In reality none but if you *really*   
    MK> mean which version gets tacked onto outbound pkt's then I am not sure at   
    MK> the moment which format it matches but for sure it is no longer the   
    MK> original type2 and it definetly isn't the one where the domain is used.   
    MK> Which version does that leave? ;-)   
      
   it isn't a loaded question, really... there's only three type 2 packet formats   
   available... original type 2, type 2+ and type 2.2...   
      
    ml>> likely because you aren't involved in any other networks than   
    ml>> fidonet ;)   
      
    MK> Not true except if you mean ftn-ish style networks and then it is true.   
      
   yes, FTN networks are the only ones that exchange mail in this fashion ;)   
      
    MK> Speaking in favour of fidonet, I do like the idea of text based   
    MK> message bases that I have access to using a terminal, especially utf8   
    MK> text these days. Also I have never been a fan of web based solutions   
    MK> especially for messaging so fidonet has fit in since way back when the   
    MK> earth's crust was still cooling. Too bad about some of the goofiness   
    MK> that has leaked into fidonet networking over the years but I found   
    MK> that I could compensate or totally ignore it so no harm done.   
      
   we're not too far of in our likes and dislikes, contrary to popular belief...
