I'd up-vote this message, but alas, FTN doesn't support that. :-)

That crack was interesting/fun for me to dissect. At least, from what I observed, Synchronet v2 wasn't trivial to crack. And I think I'd already made SBBS public domain by the time I'd seen that crack, so I wasn't miffed about it at all.
