Hey August!

 MK>> official point system,...

 AA> What system is that?

This one.  It is a direct link to the Netherlands and is running on it's very
own system via binkd.  I like it very much despite it having the slowest cpu
with the least amount of cores available to it.

As far as MSGID is concerned the 8 hex character unixtime based output without
any extras is good enough given that the MSGID is created whenever I create a
MSG.  No robotized MSG creation so collisions are unlikely and the 8 character
hex unixtime as is has a shelf life up to 2106.  Mind you there is nothing in
my code that will prevent it from creating a 9 digit hex unixtime when the time 
comes but I won't be around to witness it.

Also note the first line of the msg_body displays the rfc-3339 in nanoseconds
and that is also available to me on this system for potential forwards
compatibilty purposes.

Also, also tonight when all the neighbours are in bed a reboot of the new
gcc-10.3.0 based x86_64-motorshed-linux-gnu custom built for this machine will
happen.  I have to wait until then because it also acts as an access point to
the internet for them.

Life is good,
Maurice
