Re: Negative IP Packets - Risky?

[Mark Plesser <plesser () ms com>]

No, no. It's the "anti-IP" packets that are dangerous. It is believed that
they have a tendency to annihilate the IP packets on contact. If you have
seen any packet loss in your network you may be under attack by anti-IP
packets (possibly from the anti-universe).

I can't *BELIEVE* people actually buy this bull****.
