    Ok agreed, on most points, but if those broadcasts are undesirable like i
    find them, then i for one would like to see a rejection mechanisum to exclude
    them. Something like reject a mnemonic that contains an asterisk, i remember
    way back when Jonathan first started writing netrom into the kernel i sent
    him a patch which excluded asterisks, or at least tryed to, that same patch
    inclded upper and lower case letters, (contrary i beleve to RFC) which he did
    include. This problem seems to be becoming more of a problem thesedays, or am
    i getting older and too grumpy.?
