Competition is healthy.

You're completely missing the point. I originally brought up the Yahoo message length thing as I thought it may be at least partially relevant. After all, if you're gonna interop two networks, you wanna make sure they can share information reliably.

And then you still would have this problem.

true, but tbh, that would have been the first obvious thing they checked and made sure it was the same IMHO, or they would have been realy stupid (and I almost never say that of those people )....

The problem is as stated: it works perfectly between the two networks as-is, but addons which tamper with this aren't taken into account obviously (it even can't be)...

It's like blaming WLM for a crash when you totaly change and rewrite internal code and what not with a patch. They aren't responsible for what a 3rd party unofficial addon does to the program (or network).

I'll wait that Yahoo compatibility is considered final before I do anything like this .
