well, I'll admit I'm curious - how does using the same command in two different
ways eliminate a bunch of edge conditions?  (if we had only one command in SMTP
and used it over and over would that eliminate even more edge conditions?)

really, I don't have a guess as to what you're talking about here, and I am curious.
