Or, we design a new modern "packet" that is well described - and those who
want to use their legacy software need to "alter/translate/transform" that
packet with a pre-processor.

I like this legacy hobby, and the "old software" - and I too do want to keep
some of the old stuff running for nastalga sake - and I would be perfectly OK
handing off "received" packets to a transforming tool, or designing a tosser
that understands both formats (that sat in the middle).

Lets move on, and let the developers help with bridging old and new.

This was the beginning of your antagonistic politician nonsense which was all 
bark and no bite. Fact... not once did you do anything but run "your" mouth.

Yes it is and if you're genuinely wondering "anything" about me you may have
some mental problems. I know the idea goes over your head that the hobby
can enjoyed on a simple level where someone can trade fun banter and private
Netmails with friends around the world. Theres more to life than the tech...
