Our FCC is trying to mandate *all* ham systems now be open source.
Many are upset about this, but for what I see there's no issues with ham
programming being open source. How else can others improve upon something?

For DECADES all we had was analog and no one griped or complained. We all have
mouths and used them to ID, in fact here we must every 10 minutes. As for
packet that's another ball of wax. Most packages/firmwares have back doors
in which they can do an entire QSO with a bogus ID/Callsign. Bottom line:
no one really cares.

I don't really need folder structure for 100% personal email :) Actually I
can't stand imap for just that reason. I use it on some systems only because
that's what I'm forced to use, but I never put a darn file or message in any
"folder". I'm old-school NOS, I have one file that contains my mail <G>

.... Vuja De: the feeling that nothing like this has ever happened before.
