The kind that makes programs useless after 25 years.

 MJ> Newer version of the KITYMAIL key file will be available on the

 MJ> He just wants people to call his BBS to artificially inflate his ego.

 ML> for some reason, you seem to have missed the last part of that

What good is that when those BBS's no longer exist.

 ML> in any case, if the software doesn't meet your needs, don't use it...
 ML> complaining won't change anything...
