That's how I remember the issue, too.  I think the FTN issues were 
because there were so many different versions (of Mystic) in use, 
with so many different bugs, that there were communication and 
dupe issues between the hubs.  Also something about messages being 
truncated after 256 characters as I recall.

The bottom line was that the software wasn't performing well, and 
he got tired of hearing the complaints, I guess.
