Just for the record it always annoyed me too and I did spend some time 
one day trying to eliminate it.

It just didn't bother me enough to complain. How common that is I 
couldn't say, but I think lack of official complaints might not be quite 
all there is to consider.

Perhaps I'm just weird in that it was worth it to me to spend time 
trying to get what I want myself, yet not worth trying to ask for it 
from the source.

I can't even say it's because the source is unresponsive. You've 
actually given me more significant changes than that.

I don't know about Mark, but I think, if some form of status bar is 
necessary for messages from Anzio even if not from the host or for the 
usual in-screen status line that old BBS dialer comm programs used to 
have, then I'd prefer it to be out of the screen, rendered as window 
component like other apps, not looking like it's part of the terminal 
screen.

The status venue is still there, but the terminal looks cleaner to us.

It matters.
