On that note, I have yet to encounter an editor that would stuff a packet
password into a message and I've been at this since the late 80s before
becoming a node in '91. I switched my config to Detailed so I could see if a
system was presenting a packet password when connecting here. To date, it has
only happened with SBBSecho, and that was within the last 3 months. The node I
have a packet password with is also presented.
