Finnigan --> "Everyone Else" Translator v1.0a

What he means is...

#1 - The docs directory is quite a mess. This can be easily fixed by ANYONE 
who would rather organize it and submit it to you rather than piss and moan 
about it.

#2 - FTP and other "short filename" crippled things to support "long 
     filenames" for v4. Currently the FTP uses to "Internal Code" as opposed
     to the "long name".

#3 - Long Filename Descriptions for the SBBS Tree:

As opposed to the way it is now. Obviously I didn't list ALL of the SBBS 
Dir's, I just wanted to get the point accross.

Of course I'm sure he might also like "SBBS" to become "Synchronet".
