No, but ietf.org /does/ document what TCP is, and /not/ just in code |
| 21 |
either, so it's there for folks that need it. |

I actually thought the point was pretty effective, given what it was in |
| 24 |
reply to. If it were me the elementary school reply was made to, I'd |
| 25 |
have felt it within my rights to ask for an apology. I therefore |
| 26 |
considered the ietf remark a rather clever reply to the innuendo, making |
| 27 |
the point delicately, while avoiding the loss of face challenge asking |
| 28 |
for an apology presents. |
