Nice example, and I could imagine myself or one of my buddies doing
this exact sort of thing.

Because of known differences between different implementations, I
could have yet another method of "fixing" the problem if the other
net control station is using UI-View:  Since I'd be running Xastir
I'd switch to using Items instead of Objects and take back those
objects that the 2nd station stole from me...  UI-View can receive
Items but cannot update them so my Xastir station would be in
control again and the other station that messed up my tactical
display would have to find his own solution...  ;-)  Not the play
nice with the neighbor kid mentality, but HE STARTED IT!  hi hi
