Hey Wilfred!
No less useful than any other kludge.
Your wrong there!
I am not yet wrong, nor does wrong belong to me.
Most kludges are useful because they are used by message readers
Understood. But that in itself doesn't make them (kludges) something that is useful or even correct by anyone's standards. The CHRS kludge comes to mind as something that is not only wrong, but indeed useless especially if you got suckered into the idea that it is required.
Life is good,
Maurice
