[aprssig] Universal APRS messaging

[Gregory A. Carter]

By your standards of "martarism" then every APRS software developer should
just disable APRS Messaging altogether to protect iGate owners from
liability.

As stated before, you cannot send a message from OpenAPRS without verifying
your account and any message you send is logged and is restricted to only be
sent from your callsign.  Sounds like accountability to me.  It won't be an
different when using the OpenAPRs's iPhone app since the app doesn't send
the messages through APRS-IS it uses OpenAPRS's propriatery DCC interface
which has direct authentication control and uses the same verification
system that the web interface uses.

I fail to see how the level of control we have implimented threatens the
remote iGate user.  I'm content with agreeing to disagree with you and
leaving it at that.

from the wrong return address on accident which I'm assuming will get
rejected)
