It comes from having aberrant mental processes, i.e., I am online and
have been for line 14 hrs now. Why? I have been updating my
RFC/STD/BCP/FYI indexes and notes for DNS, timekeeping, RFCs (yes,
there are RFCs about RFCs), TFTP, FINGER, IDENT, NNTP and OPSEC
(Operational Security, Orange Book and similar pubs). IP/ICMP/ARP and
TCP/UDP doc updates are tomorrow (There is an insane amount of stuff
and updates on these). I have been updating them every 6 months or so
since 1992. (Read, these are my standards cheat-sheets, when I need
to know the latest standard for say DNS HOST RRs this is what I use to
find the approp RFC STD or working draft).
I am Insane, I admit it! I have no idea what day it is, and I think
it is March (won't know until I ask the system), but I can come up
with a great argument as to why only stupid people block type 3 ICMP.
Anyway, I prefer to think of it as refraining from comment on things I
am unsure about. That way all people ever hear is me talking about
things I think I know, makes me seem more intelligent that way. :)
