Why have standards, if they are ignored anyway? ;)

I already assumed that most software works fine with "UTF-8 2", but I was not
sure and it didn't feel right to have a non-conforming kludge in the message.
But if everyone says it's fine, I can relax.

It's not JamNTTPd fault, it uses the name from the From field. In another
network I'm using my nickname. Maybe I need to use separate NNTP accounts for
every network / different names. But why bother, everyone can read my messages
and my full name is in the pointlist ;).
