The FTN-related code in Synchronet proper, I did write. I also wrote SBBSFIDO
which was the pre-cursor to SBBSecho. What I did not initially write was
SBBSecho (Allen Christiansen, a.k.a. King Drafus, did while employed by Digital
Dynamics). So yeah, that's kind of right. But since around '97, I've been
pretty much the only one maintaining and enhancing SBBSecho and I think I know
more now about FTN and its arcane ways than Allen ever did (no disrespect to
him).
