Not at all… But please, as usual, do not let your failure to properly
interpret what I said interfere with the conclusions you choose to draw.

Were that what I was saying, I probably would be wrong. Since it bears
so little resemblance to what I actually said, I think it is safe to say that
your interpretation is in error here.

Echo was one example. It is not the only one. There are other ICMP packets which
do not necessarily contain information about some other TCP or UDP datagram
as well. I did ask a property targeted question. The fact that you failed to consider
a properly scoped variety of possibilities is not my fault.

I wasn’t trying to trick anyone. I was making a snide comment about your failure
to consider the much broader implications of your erroneous assumptions. I did
not actually expect a reply. Please note that your interpretation of it as a question
shows the extent of your error in that it was a statement and not a question,
thus ending with a period (.) and not a question mark (?).

Perhaps if I say “note the absence of the word ka at the end of my original
statement” that will fit into your brain better.

If I have, it certainly won’t be the first time. However, I think from what I have
seen in comments by others both on and off list that is not really the case
outside of your mind.
